The idea was, to prevent the existences of 'war/*' in my GWT project. With the current stable version of the plugin and GWT 1.7.1 everything works well. So the problem is, that my GWT project does not have any server code and no host page or anything else. The current version works the following way:
- GWT (Web App launch configuration) app is launched in hosted mode without the build in server. - Instead of a host page in the same project, the host page comes from an independent server. - The hosted browser loads the host page (from the specified URL), detects the existence of a GWT module (included as JavaScript) and replaces the JavaScript with the Java Code from the classpath. The interesting point is, that the text field to specify the URL is removed from the GWT tab in the web app launch configuration (plugin version for GWT 2.0 RC2). So the question is, how can I point the OOPHM to my host page's URL (on any server)? At least some words on what I'm currently doing in Eclipse 3.5 with the released version of the plugin and GWT 1.7.1: I've got a plain Java project and make a GWT project out of it by right click on the project -> Google -> WebToolkit Settings. In these GWT settings I check 'Use Google Web Toolkit' and then OK. This makes my Java project a GWT project. I create a new Web App launch configuration for this project, disable 'Run build in server' and on the GWT tab I insert my host pages URL (http://localhost:8080/my-app-which-runs-totaly-independent-on-a-tomcat). That's it. It works. Interestingly it's not required to specify any GWT module in any configuration so far. The presence of the module's XML configuration on the classpath and the presence of a previously compiled version of the module in the loaded HTML page is enough to tell hosted browser, what to do. The GWT Eclipse plugin doesn't even recognize the XML file since the included module isn't shown in any settings or configuration interface. But it works.
