Re: war vs webapp with GWT, AppEngine, Gradle and Eclipse

I have no experience with AppEngine, but I've been using Gradle for several months thanks to the GWT Gradle Plugin (https://github.com/steffenschaefer/gwt-gradle-plugin). If you are not using it already, you might find it useful. 

AFAIK, it is expected that whatever is in src will stomp on stuff in war. All you really need is build.gradle and your src directory to load into Eclipse (and .gitignore if you're using Git).

There is another GWT Gradle plugin in the works (see https://github.com/Putnami/putnami-gradle-plugin) but I've not tried it.

Hi guys,

I was wondering if you could help me clarify my project setup. I'm an Eclipse user who does a lot of work with GWT and AppEngine. I've started to migrate all my projects to Gradle for dependency management and IDE abstraction and am having a little issue figuring out exactly how things should go.

I understand that with Gradle, the files that were previously in the WAR directory should go into src/main/webapp. My question comes from how this all works with GPE and the build file.

I've added the war plugin, appengine plugin and gwt plugin to the build script, but sometimes, it appears that the files in /webapp overwrite everything in /war. Is this expected behavior? Where does the appengine datastore go? What about the class output directory? Should that be in /war/WEB-INF/classes or /webapp/WEB-INF/classes? Where do the GWT output files go?

Should I be treating the /war directory like a build directory? How do I set that up in the GPE so I can still use the debugging tools and such in Eclipse?

Sorry for such a rambling post, but I think I've thought and tested myself in circles with the various configuration options and I'm just interested in which approach is the correct one.

Thanks,

Evan
