Hi Jenny! With all these issues related to out-dated Eclipse plug-ins I would strongly suggest switching to the new GWT Maven plug-in instead. Follow the instructions https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes/ to create a project that you can easily import into the most recent Eclipse (or any other IDE) subsequently. I don’t see much support for Eclipse plug-ins coming… I learned it the hard way too but am now happily working the Maven way. Bon courage!
