I wrote a previous post on the first version of the Googlipse plugin. However the 0.02 version has changed quite a bit so I thought I’d write a new walkthrough for it.

Requirements: Java 5, Eclipse 3.2, Eclipse WTP, Googlipse 0.02.

• The first thing I needed to do was to install the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP). I decided to download the latest Eclipse (3.2RC7). Installing the WTP is pretty easy now. Just use the Eclipse update mechanism, choose a Callisto Discovery site, select the ‘Web and J2EE Development’ box, then click the ‘Select Required’ button to select the dependencies and away it goes. Wait a little bit and after its done, you’ll have everything installed.
• Unzip the googlipse jar into your Eclipse/plugins folder and restart Eclipse.
• Under Window -> Preference -> Googlipse, set your GWT home. GWT home should be set to where you installed your GWT libraries (ex. c:\gwt-windows-1.0.21)
• Creating a GWT Project. Select File -> New -> Project -> Web -> Dynamic Web
• • Type your project name and hit Next
  • Select the Google Web Toolkit project facet (along with the Dynamic Web Module and Java facets) and click Finish.
• Creating a GWT Module. Select File -> New -> Other -> Goolipse -> Gwt Module
• • Hit the Create… button to define the package structure of your project.
  • Enter your module name in the Names textfield.
• Running your module. Select Run -> Run…
• • Select Gwt Application, right click and select New.
  • In the main tab, select your project and select your module.
  • Click Run.
