It works fine for me and has in every version I have ever used.

The current version I am using is either 14.1.5 or 14.1.6

Re: What is best IDE for developing GWT applications?

I don't know why many people are suggesting IntelliJ for GWT. For example code completion in ui.xml files is not working in IntelliJ, and I don't understand how to develop UI efficiently without it.

You have run configurations for GWT similar to eclipse (with the google plugin) but better IMO, with SDM as default and you can still run classic DevMode if you want.
You can rename @UiField variables and it will rename all instances in your Java file and also on your ui.xml file (or vice versa, if you rename the ui:field on your ui.xml).
IntelliJ also comes with a Chrome Browser plugin so your debugging can be done on the IDE from the javascript + sourcemaps running on your browser.
There's also code-completion, syntax highlighting on JSNI javascript code (not sure if eclipse now has this).
I've imported numerous GWT maven-based projects and they just work and run from IntelliJ as soon as I create a run config which takes a few seconds.

These might not sound like super features or way too different from eclipse, but consider the fact that I didn't have to get/install any IDE plugins and even if I did I don't even remember because installing a plugin is a lot simpler too.

What I'm just missing are some basic support e.g. if I use GWTP I want to see some generated code. Java/GWT has some boilerplate code that could be generated.

Another thing that annoys me is that @UiField thing. Sometimes it's really annoying to keep all the field names up-to-date. Renaming stuff is sometimes a but nasty.

Then there's the thing with the code server.. I'd really appreciate a better view for the error messages that one gets there. You always have to search for the actual line that points out what's wrong instead of seeing that message in the Eclipse "Markers" view or something.

One more thing that I miss is a better Project Explorer. The files are sorted by type and that means you get A.java B.java A.ui.xml B.ui.xml instead of A.java A.ui.xml B.java B.ui.xml.

Since I am using gwt-maven-archetypes I even have to kill the Code Server by hand - I cannot use the Eclipse "Debug" or "Server" view for that.

Maybe some of that stuff could be avoided or changed but it's not supported out of the box by Eclipse afaik.

Have you ever try to run a multi-module App Engine project with multi module GWT app, configured with Maven? Don't even try, go to the command line and run the server from there.

Sometimes you lose days of work just setting up the environment. And that sucks.

But, I still use it. I prefer how Eclipse deal with git and how it's code completion works (ctrl+space for everything, instead of a different shortcut for each type of code completion, like on IntelliJ). It's a matter of knowing what is possible and what is not inside the IDE, and which combination of plug-ins (and its versions) works for your project, and which don't.

I have some friends that love IntelliJ and would never go back to Eclipse again. In my opinion, if you aren't crazy yet because of the plug-in hell, Eclipse can still do a good job. Like Ed said, it's the best free IDE available.

I am currently working on a GWT project and I am not able to understand how I can externalize CSS from a java file.

I am supposed to separate styling part from a Java file (It doesn't have a XML file layout for the UI) and I am not able to understand how to get this done.

Here's what I need to do:
I should do it the UiBinder way, as the others are deprecated.

GWT 2.8-SNAPSHOT has broken JSP support in SDM & DM

Hi Guys,
After updating to Jetty 9.2 in GWT 2.8 the JSP support is not working any more during debug (it doesn't matter if you use SDM o DM).
It seems that since Jetty 9.2[1] jsp support is not enabled by default and need to enabled when embedding. As a workaround you can add this snippet[2] to web.xml.
I don't know if I this expected or I should fill a bug.

[1] http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/configuring-jsp.html

[2] Code Snippet

Project structure in IntelliJ

Maybe I'm just missing something, but I can't find a way to stray from IntelliJ's suggested package structure for GWT apps (see this link).

For example, if I have an application organised using a standard Maven directory layout, I'd like to place my module file (module.gwt.xml) in the src/main/resources/com/example/ folder, but this breaks IntelliJ's GWT build (the GWT compiler simply reports back it can't find module.gwt.xml on the classpath). Including src/main/resources/ as a content root in IntelliJ's project structure window doesn't seem to make any difference either.

It's the same deal for my GSS files, but in this case it's even more annoying because as soon as my GSS files are outside of src/main/java then I lose some IDE support for those files too.

I can build with Maven or Gradle no problems, but I'm wondering if it's possible to get IntelliJ to do the same. Mostly for the IDE support, but just in general would be great.

Cheers,

Ben.

Several GWT modules on one page and RootPanel.get().addDomHandler()

Hi All,

I have a problem with several GWT modules on one page which all try to register a keydown handler on the page body element.

The problem seems to be that only one GWT module can call RootPanel.get() which will be perform a DOM.setListener() on the body.

The second call of RootPanel.get() from another model will overwrite the body.__listener so that com.google.gwt.user.client.impl.DOMImpl#getEventListener

doesn't work anymore for all GWT modules (of course because the connection between dom and widget was overwritten)

My current solution is to add all handler for the body element using JSNI which is a little bit ugly!

So other / better ideas?

Rocco

I think it might come with the JS engine that googlebot uses. For example: I don't support IE9, as I use JS features that aren't supported by IE9 that result in similar errors.

But how to work around this? It's hard to see the exact error that occurs.

Re: UIBinder and UI update/change at runtime

Gilberto,

Thank you very much - you saved me a lot of time figuring out what is happening. The problem was indeed in DockLayoutPanel "add" method that is locked after adding "center" widget. I didn't mention this note at documentation. When I replaced DockLayoutPanel with LayoutPanel - everything start to work as expected. I was not dare to use flexbox yet, because I don't know how to couple it with GWT and modify CSS properties from JAVA code, but this project looks very interesting. When I get more mature I will try it.

Thanks again, the problem is solved.

Another thing that annoys me is that @UiField thing. Sometimes it's really annoying to keep all the field names up-to-date. Renaming stuff is sometimes a but nasty.

Then there's the thing with the code server.. I'd really appreciate a better view for the error messages that one gets there. You always have to search for the actual line that points out what's wrong instead of seeing that message in the Eclipse "Markers" view or something.

One more thing that I miss is a better Project Explorer. The files are sorted by type and that means you get A.java B.java A.ui.xml B.ui.xml instead of A.java A.ui.xml B.java B.ui.xml.

Since I am using gwt-maven-archetypes I even have to kill the Code Server by hand - I cannot use the Eclipse "Debug" or "Server" view for that.

Maybe some of that stuff could be avoided or changed but it's not supported out of the box by Eclipse afaik.

@Gilberto: Yes, that's actually a good point. The plugins can be sometimes a bit messy.

@Rogelio: What kind of support are we talking here? It happens that I might have access to the Ultimate edition for free as a student.

Have you ever try to run a multi-module App Engine project with multi module GWT app, configured with Maven? Don't even try, go to the command line and run the server from there.

Sometimes you lose days of work just setting up the environment. And that sucks.

But, I still use it. I prefer how Eclipse deal with git and how it's code completion works (ctrl+space for everything, instead of a different shortcut for each type of code completion, like on IntelliJ). It's a matter of knowing what is possible and what is not inside the IDE, and which combination of plug-ins (and its versions) works for your project, and which don't.

I have some friends that love IntelliJ and would never go back to Eclipse again. In my opinion, if you aren't crazy yet because of the plug-in hell, Eclipse can still do a good job. Like Ed said, it's the best free IDE available.

getCookie() always returns null

Can anybody tell me why my cookie is null ?

Cookies.setCookie(ApiParameters.LOGIN_COOKIE, sessionId, expires, null, "/", true);  String cookie = Cookies.getCookie(ApiParameters.LOGIN_COOKIE);    if(cookie == null) {      throw new RuntimeException("Cookie is 'null'.");  }

It used to work a few hours ago. Chrome says the cookie is actually there but getCookie() returns always null. What am I doing wrong here?

The error I get:

I think it might come with the JS engine that googlebot uses. For example: I don't support IE9, as I use JS features that aren't supported by IE9 that result in similar errors.
But how to work around this? It's hard to see the exact error that occurs.

Have you tried "deobfuscating" those values (Kg and vSb) using the symbolMaps? That could possibly help understand what happens.

Re: GoogleBot is using the wrong permutation?

Are you using fetch and render from google webmaster tools while to trigger it while you are in development mode?
