Hello, Recently, I started to resume on our GWT upgrade project with GWT 2.9 and JDK 11.
As it has been discussed before, the embedded Jetty server can't work with JDK 11 due to the ASM lib version issue. The recommended approach is to set up an external server, so I followed the following GWT document to manually configure GWT development mode by following steps specified in the second Video. I've watched the video and tried this approach many times, but it still gave 404 error. It seems hard to setup external server and configure Development mode correctly for our project. Any input or suggestion is greatly appreciated! *http://gwt-plugins.github.io/documentation/gwt-eclipse-plugin/servers/Tomcat.html* Manually Configure GWT Development Mode Manually Configuring the -launcherDir in the GWT Eclipse Plugin Our GWT project is not Maven oriented and it was developed several years ago with a big codebase. Step 1: Converted Aries project to Dynamic Web Project by adding project facet "Dynamic Web Module" in Eclipse. Step 2: Set up Apache Tomcat 9 Server Step 3: Add the project to server. Right click on Server -> Add and Remove Step 4: Start the Tomcat Server Step 5: Right click project->Debug As -> GWT Development mode Step 6. It started fine. Stop it so we can add the -launcherDir Program Arg Step 7: Double click on Tomcat server, select Open launch configuration Get the server web app directory root: wtp.deploy Copy path C:\EclipseGWTCodeServerWorkSpace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps Step 8. Open the file explorer to see the deployment path Step 9: Go to Debug Configurations GWT Development Mode (CodeServer)->Arguments. Add -launcherDir Value: It is the wtp.deploy arg + context path. After updated the Argument to GWT Development Mode(CodeServer), the Arguments tab has following content: -launcherDir C:\EclipseGWTCodeServerWorkSpace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\aries -logLevel INFO -port 9876 edu.vanderbilt.mc.aries.ARIES Step 10 Launch the code server, click on Debug from CodeServer dialog. Now both the Web Server and Code Server are running. Back to the file manager. Watching for the application directory to be created. Step 11: Launch the browser for debugging with the Javascript Debugging Open with SBDG debugger Step 12: Open browser with Code Server URL: 127.0.0.1:9876 and Change the port number to 8080 ( the Tomcat web server port number) It gave me 404 Not found error.
