I don't think the plugin does the copying of files.. If development efficiency is your only concern, you should consider using the oophm plugin provided by GWT. oophm is a browser plugin that allows your browser to execute java bytecode instead of compile javascript.
oophm with the -noserver argument allows you to run your server code on the tomcat installed on the cloud; but still manage to execute client side code from your local machine. Its perfect for rapid development - because you just modify java code and refresh the browser to see the changes. More dough on oophm can be found here - http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/UsingOOPHM --Sri 2009/9/16 kbowe...@gmail.com <kbowe...@gmail.com> > > Hi, > > I have an existing app built with GWT 1.5 which uses RPC to talk to a > backend running on Tomcat; the backend makes extensive use of > ActiveMQ, and is multi-threaded. > > I have been given a related New Front End (gui only; no backend or > communication yet) which was developed by another engineer using the > Google Eclipse Plugin on Galilio. > > The goal is to develop an app which uses the New Front End talking to > a (modification of) the old backend on a Tomcat running on a > datacenter, with the New Front End running on the Google cloud.
