Are you saying that you have zero build tool‽ not even Ant? (because Ant, with Ivy, can resolve dependencies from Maven repositories too; I have no idea how to do it myself, but there are, or have been, people here using Ivy who could possibly help)

I'm staring at this, and I don't know what to make of it:

https://tbroyer.github.io/gwt-maven-plugin/index.html

It seems to assume I already know what Maven is, I already have a Maven project, I understand all of this obscure terminology, and I know how to edit various configuration files...

It does assume you already know Maven, yes.

and I'm just trying to find a page that says "How to install this thing."

That's not how things work; "this thing" is a plugin for Maven, one of many plugins any Maven project will use during a build.
And you don't "install" it, once you have Maven installed, you only need to describe your dependencies (and plugins) in an XML file (pom.xml) and Maven will download things for you.

But you don't need to move your whole build to using Maven only to use dependencies from a Maven repository. You could for example use Coursier (or Maven or Ivy or Gradle or SBT) to retrieve all the JARs, and continue using your current setup for the rest.

I don't know what that means. As far as I've ever known, developing a GWT application in Eclipse implies installing the GWT Plugin for Eclipse and picking a GWT SDK.

http://www.gwtproject.org/usingeclipse.html

Nope.
Install the GWT Eclipse Plugin (https://gwt-plugins.github.io/documentation/gwt-eclipse-plugin/Download.html; note that the SDKs are optional).
Create (https://gwt-plugins.github.io/documentation/gwt-eclipse-plugin/maven/Maven.html) or import (https://gwt-plugins.github.io/documentation/gwt-eclipse-plugin/workspace/Importing.html) a Maven project using GWT.
You're all set; the plugin will use the GWT dependencies from the Maven project.

Re: TabLayoutPanel looses its CSS style when placed in a CSS- grid container

This did not help.
But maybe I found the real issue:
To place the TabLayoutPanel in a CSS grid container, I added a
styleName="{style.c1}" attribute to the TabLayoutPanel in the ui.xml.
Setting a styleName seems to replace the existing CSS styles completely (for a
DataGrid, this is not the case).
As a workaround, I had to wrap g:TabLayoutPanel in a <div class="{style.c1}">.

There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: cache invalidation,

Hot deploy updates to CDN without restarting application server?

We are looking at moving our static assets to a CDN. Does anyone know how this works with GWT-RPC since it compiles new signatures for client/server communication each time?

What we would love to be able to do is deploy a new version of the client assuming there were no breaking changes to classes used with RPC, without having to re-deploy the java on the server. Is this even possible?

Thanks!

GWT Screen

I am new to GWT.

The question is, how to use GWT to make a screen screen when a button is pressed?
