Re: GWT with App Engine (standard) and maven?

I've been trying to create a gwt-lib that contains some static web resources (fonts, css, ...) to be used in depending projects.

Where should I place these files? They used to be in the "public" directory on the same level as client/server/shared in the old days when there way just a single project layout.

I'd like to find them in the resulting war when declaring the library as a dependency.

Is this still possible or do I have to replicate the static web resources in each project that requires the gwt-lib?

Thanks, that was the missing info I was looking for (just checked the maven-plugin help etc.)!!

What is the recommended setup nowadays when using Eclipse?

Is it recommended to use the Eclipse plugin(s) for GWT/GAE or is it better to run everything from the command line?

Thanks again, you are the man!

As I test I just created a blank test project from the archetype.

I did not manage to run it either using "maven gwt:devmode".

Is there some additional configuration required to tell the plugin where to find the webapp?

The server launches just fine, an ancient swing window pops up, but the index.html is not there when going to 127.0.0.1:8888

Any ideas?

gwt:devmode will not package the app, you need to first do a "mvn package" to prepare the webapp; and do a "mvn package" again anytime you change any source file and/or dependency (you can configure Maven and/or your IDE to directly place classes from the module into the webapp's WEB-INF/classes; this saves you a few "mvn package").

When using external servers (recommended), you can configure them to automatically reload the webapp when a class is changed, and to pick web resources right from src/main/webapp.

See https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes#start-the-development-mode

Webapp will be on http://localhost:8080 (by default), served by the jetty-maven-plugin (or tomcat7-maven-plugin), configured to pick up the shared classes right from *-shared/target/classes (where your IDE will put them).
