Eclipse plugin for GWT released

June 6th, 2006 - Written by in Using GWT

Finally, someone has released an Eclipse plugin for the Google Web Toolkit. Now instead of having to use the command line tools, you can setup your GWT project from within the Eclipse IDE. You can download it from here.

Let me add some additional instructions since the website is a little sparse on details. First of all, it seems to requires Java 5.0.

  • To install, unzip into your eclipse directory.
  • Start Eclipse and go to Window->Preferences->Googlipse in the menu.
  • GWT home should be set to where you installed your GWT libraries (ex. c:\gwt-windows-1.0.21)
  • To Create a GWT project
    • File -> New -> Project… and select Gwt Project.
    • Type in your Project Name and hit Finish.
  • To Create a GWT module
    • Right click on your newly create Project, choose New -> Other, and select Gwt Module.
    • Hit the Create button to define the package structure of your project.
    • Type the name of your module in the ‘Names:’ field and hit Finish.
    • Voila! You have a basic GWT project setup.

hi,there.
There is no Googlipse in Preferences, I am sure I had the googlipse jar file in my eclipse/plugins directory.

Could you help me out?

The new version of the plugin with more added features (supports WTP) is now available at the sourceforge site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlipse Please try that version. You need Eclipse 3.2 + WTP 1.5 (both are currently in RC versions)

Hi,

I’ve downloaded latest version from sourceforge.

There is no Gwt Project under File -> New -> Project

OK. Got it. I’ve installed Eclipse 3.2 RC7 and WTP 1.5. And in New->Other, I get GWT Module and GWT Remote Site. Still no “GWT Project”, though.

Googlipse is not supporting JAVA1.4. It throws the error of StringBuilder class while creating application on Eclipse.

Googlipse is now part of Cypal Studio for GWT. You can check out a list of features here:
http://www.cypal.in/studiodocs. But it does have some features to help in deploying your applications.
