I have problem with configuration GXT with GWT Designer. I have all new releases of Eclipse, GWT plugin and GXT and cannot configure GXT to work with GWT Designer. I setup my project so that I can compile my GXT project and run it in browser.
However I can't design in GWT Designer. I don't see any GXT widget in GWT Designer.
All forums reffer to Google Web Toolkit -> Configure for using Ext-GWT (GXT) but I don't have this option.
I have done all steps defined in setup.txt of GXT.
The only thing that is not working is GWT designer do not see GXT widgets.
Regrads,
Folks:
It simply appears that GXT 3 is not supported in the latest version of Windowbuilder. Period. All the instructions given in this thread work well for GXT 2, but GXT 3 has radical differences (different styling mechanisms, for one thing!) that Windowbuilder cannot seem to handle.
This is a bug that needs to be fixed in Windowbuilder.
I see this is an old article, but might still help people with the same problem.
If you right click on your gwt.xml file, the options are visible, if you click on your project, the options are not visible. That's the problem I was having.
I had this problem. I solved by installing:
(If you are using Eclipse Indigo)
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2gwt/latest/3.7
Just check for the version you have. That should do the trick.
"select your GWT module file and right-click to select the Google Web Toolkit > Configure for using Ext GWT (GXT)" http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/gxt.html
Read setup.txt in ext-gwt zip:
STEP 1 -> Create a Google Web Application Project project within Eclipse.
Copy the contents of the /resources folder in the download to a {foldername} location within your war folder.
Substitute {foldername} with the name of the folder you've created for resources within your war folder.
STEP 3 -> Add the following stylesheet to your host page.
STEP 3b -> If you are using Charts, add the following script to your host page.
STEP 4 -> Add the following entry to you projects module xml file.
STEP 5 -> Eclipse Setup (should be similar for other development environments)
These instructions assume you have a existing project and launch configuration.
Add gxt.jar to the project.
a. Right click on project name in 'Package Explorer'.
b. Select 'Properties' from content menu.
c. Select 'Java Build Path'.
d. Select 'Libraries' tab.
e. Add the gxt.jar either with 'Add JARs...' or 'Add External JARs...'.
Add GXT jar to launch configuration.
a. Choose Run / Open Run Dialog.
b. Select your appropriate launch configuration under 'Java Application'.
c. Select the 'Classpath' tab.
d. Add the gxt.jar to the classpath.
that happened to me too. I had to install WindowBuilder Pro from the update site (you can found it here) and after that the "Google Web Toolkit > Configure for using Ext GWT (GXT)" option appeared.
Support for 3rd party components like GXT and SmartGWT is only available in the full version of GWT Designer available here...
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/download-gwtdesigner.html
Install the full version and then follow the instructions here...
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/gxt.html
I just had the same problem. The only way I got it working is this:
I installed the full version of GWT designer as recommended by Eric Clayberg's answer (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/download-gwtdesigner.html)
However, the instructions at http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/gxt.html didn't work, because there simply isn't any "Google Web Toolkit > Configure for using Ext GWT (GXT)" for me either.
So instead, I created a new Project, using: New Project > WindowBuilder/GWT Designer/Model/GWT Java Project:
I went through the Wizard, clicked Finish, and then it asked me about a GXT installation. The important thing is: You must select this now, I don't see any way to add this later. So navigate to a GXT installation folder. In that folder, I had to rename my "gxt-*.jar" to "gxt.jar" first, otherwise it couldn't be found (!).
Now, when opening a Java file using "Open With > GWT Designer", and selecting the Design view tab at the bottom of the editor - voila, the GXT menus appear.

I am trying to run my "Hello world" in GWT and using Eclipse. But I cannot create a module.
I right click on my package in the src-folder. Then I click other, find GWT classes, and choose Module. When I want to click next, it does not move to "next".
The next button works for all other gwt classes.
My download progress has been the following:
Download eclipse
Download the gwt plugin from the marketplace
Download the 2.9 sdk
Creation of the project progress:
New GWT Application project
Write name of project and package
Click so generate sample code is off
I create it, but get the following error:
The project description file (.project) for 'new project' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until this file is restored.
My attempt at creating the module:
Right click of package in src
Click other
Find gwt classes
Click on module
Click on next
Nothing happens.
What am I missing?
I, personally, use Maven and have not to deal with the Eclipse set up. There are several places where you can generate a ready-to-go GWT project:
https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes
https://github.com/NaluKit/gwt-maven-springboot-archetype
http://www.mvp4g.org/boot-starter-nalu/BootStarterNalu.html
Follow the instructions on the page or inside the project to get it working.
I followed this link to write my first gwt hello world program in eclipse. I created GWT Project in eclipse,then I want to create module for that,then I right clicked on package,new-->module
in gwt,then it is not going to next step, that is the problem..

#Devi George: As in your case the suggested above by #Ahmad Bawanesh answer didn't help resolving the caption issue. There is nothing in the answer that actually mentions "module", let alone how to add one. I've had everything set up as explained, and still had a compiler error. What helped to address it described in this thread. Next, you should make sure the Java JRE setting in Eclipse preferences points to the installed JRE 1.8 location and is selected as the default. This thread got it covered.
As to the actual question on adding a module to a GWT project, you can always add a file and name it as needed with an xml file extension. Search the page for "Modules: Units of configuration" on how to configure the newly created xml file. Obviously, it must have a module tag inside, among other things.
I created a multi-module-maven project called mission-man.
After right clicking on mission-man-ear or mission-man-web > Run As > Run on Server, the welcome page welcome.xhtml is displayed with success.
My problem is: I'd like to display the welcome page with another method which is showing welcome.xhtml after drag and drop the mission-man-ear on wildfly.
In other words, I'm looking to show the welcome page welcome.xhtml automatically after drag and drop the ear project on the server.
Have you please any idea about solving my problem ?. Any help will be so appreciated.
Eclipse is open source, and JBoss Tools (assuming you're using it) is open source.
Therefore you can:
learn SWT
checkout the code for Eclipse and JBoss Tools
figure out how they work
figure out how to add the drag n drop functionality that you want to the existing code
modify the Eclipse and/or JBoss Tools code to suit
I am new to JavaFx. I found every tutorials are using NetBeans IDE for JavaFx. But I am using Eclipse.
I have learnt and developed many Standalone javafx application in Eclipse but now I want to develop JavaFx Application that runs on browser (same as applet). I have searched but found all material with NetBeans IDE only and not with eclipse.
NetBeans generate jnlp, jar and html file by itself as we opt for Run in Browser option in Project Properties.
What should I do in case of Eclipse IDE?
I am using e(fx)clipse plugin for Javafx in eclipse.
Please provide some source for this as soon as possible
Have a look at the first tutorial on the e(fx)clipse tutorials page.
To deploy a JavaFX application using e(fx)clipse, the easiest way is to open the "build.fxbuild" file that is created in your project. Enter the required information for the application, then go to the "Deploy" tab (the tabs are at the bottom).
This will bring up a wizard for configuring the applet. The required fields are a width and height for the applet and a "ref" and "id" for the placeholder in the html where the applet will be inserted. (I'm not entirely clear what the "ref" is used for: the "id" is used as an id attribute in the relevant <div>.)
Enter the required values (and others as needed). Return to the "Overview" tab, and click on the "generate ant build.xml and run". This will compile an ant build file and execute it. You will now find a "build" folder in your project with a "deploy" subfolder. In there, you'll find the files required for an applet: the html, jnlp, jar, and a libs folder with any external jars your application requires.
To understand the options in the build wizard, you will need to understand the JavaFX packaging and deployment process. I suggest reading the tutorial, if you haven't already done so.
The wizard works pretty well; though sometimes I find I need to edit the build.xml and/or the generated jnlp file a little to get things to work. This is most likely because my configuration is not correct from the outset.
I've followed this tutorial:
Eclipse Plugin
This tutorial explain why create a HTML Editor.
I need a Text editor,just for auto-highlight some words, anyway I thought this tuto should be a good one to start with.
The thing is that I created the Plugin project and the only thing that I changed it was the extension "pat" instead "html, htm", just that. After that I created a .pat file, but eclipse doesn't open it with my plugin, and my text editor is not in the editor's list.
Any suggestion??
Let me know if you need more information.
My guess is that you have just created the plugin, but aren't running it in your current Eclipse instance. That can be verified by opening the view "Plugin registry". That will show a list of all plugins, see if the plugin you have created is in that list.
If you click on the run button in Eclipse you will open a run configuration dialog. In one of the tabs, you get to choose what plugins should be available. Make sure your plug-in is selected. This will start up a new Eclipse instance that will run your plugin.
To make your plugin be a part of your ordinary Eclipse installation, you will need to export it to a jar and copy that jar to the dropins catalog.
