Re: Development Mode will not be supported in Firefox 27+

That is really good news.  I haven't tried this yet (need to upgrade IDEA to 14) but it sounds like one gets most/all the benefits of DevMode development/debugging yet it's really using SDM.  Very impressive.

I'm using IntelliJ...I'd like to hear if/how IntelliJ can do this too.

With the released IntelliJ 14 things are a bit easier.

- Create a new GWT run configuration and select "User Super Dev Mode" and at the bottom "with JavaScript debugger". 

- IntelliJ will automatically generate a JavaScript debugger run configuration. Open that run configuration and you should see your GWT project directory tree. In that tree navigate to your source folder (src or src/main/java) and double click on the "Remote URL" column next to it. The remote URL is where IntelliJ will download source map files from so you should paste in something like http://127.0.0.1:9876/sourcemaps/<module-name>.

Now launch the GWT SDM run configuration which should also automatically launch the JavaScript Debug configuration. Chrome should now tell you that IntelliJ is debugging your site (you may need to install the LiveEdit Chrome extension) and you should be able to set break points in your Java code and step through the code from within IntelliJ.

Sometimes when you hit a break point the source map file isn't ready yet in IntelliJ (seems like a timing problem) and you see the pure JavaScript. But once you do the first "step over" IntelliJ should switch to the Java source by using source map information. Overall it works pretty well.

But keep in mind that fields and expressions in conditional break points are still all JavaScript. You are not debugging Java!
