Re: GWT Eclipse Plugin 4 Problem

2024-06-20 Thread Craig Mitchell
To use the free IntelliJ Community Edition, you have to switch to use Maven 
first.  https://www.gwtproject.org/gettingstarted-v2.html

Note that you will lose some functionality, like being about to easily 
create UI Binder widgets (you'll have to create them manually).

Also, I've never found a replacement for SDBG in IntelliJ Community 
Edition, so I've been using Chromes debugger.  Maybe one exists somewhere, 
would be nice if it did.

The paid IntelliJ Ultimate has its own GWT plugin, but I haven't used it, 
so not sure what it give you.

Re: JDK and GWT Upgrade.

2024-06-20 Thread Colin Alworth
GWT 2.5.1 is too old to work on Java 9+, so if you want to use a newer 
version of Java, you either need to update to a more recent GWT version 
(minimum of 2.8.2), or will need to patch your own copy of GWT to include 
fixes in later versions that specifically addressed these issues.

Re: GWT Eclipse Plugin 4 Problem

2024-06-20 Thread 'Daniel Webb' via GWT Users
I can confirm that a workaround to the GWT plugin not installing on Eclipse 
2024-06 is:
Install Eclipse 2023-09
Install GWT 4.0 Plugin
Optional: Install SDBG plugin
Update Eclipse to 2024-06

The error I was getting trying to install GWT plugin on 2024-06 was:
Missing requirement: GWT Eclipse Plugin 4.0.0.202302020242 
(com.gwtplugins.gdt.eclipse.suite 4.0.0.202302020242) requires 
'osgi.bundle; javax.inject 1.0.0' 

Can anyone point me to some IntelliJ GWT How-To? I'd be happy to switch 
from Eclipse for GWT development if IntelliJ is the preferred ide.

GWT is largely a volunteer project, the GWT Plugin for Eclipse doubly so - 
and while the GWT contributor pool is small, the GPE pool is more of a

Additionally, Eclipse marketshare isn't what it once was - I can't remember 
the last time I saw a project that ran better on Eclipse than IntelliJ. 
This is not intended as a slight towards anyone who is more productive with 
Eclipse, only as a remark that with fewer interest, it is hard to keep the 
project going.

Finally, the workaround is straightforward - 2023-09 was the latest as of 
60 days ago, falling back to it will likely not destroy any development 
workflows.

Hey. My coworker and I ran into trouble installing the GWT plugin on

A couple of weeks ago I got a new Mac, installed Eclipse 2023-09 and the 
GWT plugin, no problem.

My coworker just got a new PC (Windows 11), and got Eclipse 2023-12 (just 
released), tried to install the GWT plugin as I did, and could not.  It 
first required JustJ Adoptium OpenJDK 21.

  JustJ Adoptium OpenJDK Hotspot JRE Complete 21.0.1.v20231028-0937 
org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.feature.group Eclipse JustJ

After doing so, getting the GWT plugin still failed.  First it says "Cannot 
complete operation.  Computing alternate solutions, may take a while: X/15"

Then it tells you it failed, giving you a chance to select other features 
(but there is only one).

I confirmed that this also happens with 2023-12 on my Mac.

My co-worker dropped back to 2023-09 on his PC, and it installed fine.

Just an FYI.

Should be fine, as long as you check the JS support versions when doing 
JSInterop / JSNI.

My GWT app runs fine on 10+ year old phones, so Windows 7 should also be 
fine (Note: Support of IE was dropped, so you might have some small issues 
if they try to use IE).

Obviously, using Windows 7 is a bad idea, but that's a problem for your 
users, not GWT.
