A couple things: - You don't need to establish such an Eclipse -> browser link for GWT. Eclipse has a lot of web development framework you don't need for developing w/ GWT. - For versions of GWT < 2.0, you test your compiled code in any of the Linux browsers. This means deploying and serving the JavaScript in response to an HTTP request. That is a step that you ordinarily don't do while in the code->compile->debug loop. You don't need Eclipse Web development for this. Simply compile the code in GWT, deploy it to a web server, start your browser outside Eclipse, navigate to the URL. - You don't say which GWT version you're using. For anything < 2.0, GWT provides its own browser for Linux. It's a standalone version of FireFox packaged for embedded development in tools like GWT called "XULRunner". Please note that this hosted mode browser is what you will use most when developing GWT code. GWT is designed to test your application before it's compiled; which means that you won't use a standalone browser while testing your application (for GWT < 2.0) - The upshot is that what you're trying to do probably isn't what you want
