Re: What is best IDE for developing GWT applications?

[Claudio Nazzari]

Thats not true. Code completion works with GWT Plugin, on java classes, 
native javascripts methods and uibinder tags... 
(https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/gwt.html)

Last year I started using Intellij after 9 years using Eclipse and I can 
say that IntelliJ rocks in many aspects(specially IntelliJ Ultimate)! 
Developers are not the only one saying that, nowadays many companies are 
migrating IDE (Android Studio, for example) and there has to be a good 
reason for that!

Im my opinion, IntelliJ is more modern, and has a kind of 'text editor' 
feeling It doesnt 'build workspace' all the time like eclipse and thats 
make IntelliJ faster to develop...
Anyway, there are lots of topics talking about the difference between then 
if you are interested, but I dont know anyone who rather Eclipse after 
starts using IntelliJ 

...not saying that Eclipse is bad, far from that!! Eclipse is good and have 
plugins to anything! But the IDE itself stopped on time a long time ago... 
I dont remember any substancial new eclipse feature in years!

 What I'm just missing are some basic support e.g. if I use GWTP I 
 want to see some generated code. Java/GWT has some boilerplate code 
 that 
 could be generated.

 Another thing that annoys me is that @UiField thing. Sometimes it's

 Then there's the thing with the code server.. I'd really appreciate

Yes that's true but you can't e.g. shut down the Code Server from Eclipse. 
I have to use the task manager to kill the process ^^

No idea. I know he's been working on it but don't know the current state.
That said, AFAIK, you can just launch the maven tasks from within Eclipse 
(including launching "mvn tomcat7:run" in debug –Debug as…– to debug your

Can't tell for IntelliJ as the GWT plugin is closed-source, but Brandon 
Donnelson has been working hard to improve the Eclipse plugin 
at https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-eclipse-plugin (a fork of the 
original one by Google).
IIUC a message from Brandon on the GPE-dedicated group, Googlers might be

It works fine for me and has in every version I have ever used.

The current version I am using is either 14.1.5 or  14.1.6

I don't know why many people are suggesting IntelliJ for GWT. For example

@Stefan
You have run configurations for GWT similar to eclipse (with the google 
plugin) but better IMO, with SDM as default and you can still run classic 
DevMode if you want.
You can rename @UiField variables and it will rename all instances in your 
Java file and also on your ui.xml file (or vice versa, if you rename the 
ui:field on your ui.xml).
IntelliJ also comes with a Chrome Browser plugin so your debugging can be 
done on the IDE from the javascript + sourcemaps running on your browser.
There's also code-completion, syntax highlighting on JSNI javascript code 
(not sure if eclipse now has this).
I've imported numerous GWT maven-based projects and they just work and run 
from IntelliJ as soon as I create a run config which takes a few seconds.

These might not sound like super features or way too different from 
eclipse, but consider the fact that I didn't have to get/install any IDE 
plugins and even if I did I don't even remember because installing a plugin 
is a lot simpler too.

 At the end of the day Eclipse give me what I need for my particular use

 I usually do not use the build in server and deploy to jetty/tomcat

 @Ed: Don't get me wrong. I like Eclipse and I am basically an 
 Eclipse-only developer. I would use it to brew coffee if there was a plug 
 in. :D

 What I'm just missing are some basic support e.g. if I use GWTP I want 
 to see some generated code. Java/GWT has some boilerplate code that could 
 be generated.

 Another thing that annoys me is that @UiField thing. Sometimes it's 
 really annoying to keep all the field names up-to-date. Renaming stuff is 
 sometimes a but nasty.

 Then there's the thing with the code server.. I'd really appreciate a 
 better view for the error messages that one gets there. You always have to 
 search for the actual line that points out what's wrong instead of seeing 
 that message in the Eclipse "Markers" view or something.

 One more thing that I miss is a better Project Explorer. The files are 
 sorted by type and that means you get A.java B.java A.ui.xml B.ui.xml 
 instead of A.java A.ui.xml B.java B.ui.xml. 

 Since I am using gwt-maven-archetypes I even have to kill the Code 
 Server by hand - I cannot use the Eclipse "Debug" or "Server" view for 
 that. 

 Maybe some of that stuff could be avoided or changed but it's not 
 supported out of the box by Eclipse afaik.


 @Gilberto: Yes, that's actually a good point. The plugins can be 
 sometimes a bit messy. 

 @Rogelio: What kind of support are we talking here? It happens that I 
 might have access to the Ultimate edition for free as a student.

 Have you ever try to run a multi-module App Engine project with multi 
 module GWT app, configured with Maven? Don't even try, go to the command 
 line and run the server from there.

 Sometimes you lose days of work just setting up the environment. And 
 that sucks.

 But, I still use it. I prefer how Eclipse deal with git and how it's 
 code completion works (ctrl+space for everything, instead of a different 
 shortcut for each type of code completion, like on IntelliJ). It's a 
 matter 
 of knowing what is possible and what is not inside the IDE, and which 
 combination of plug-ins (and its versions) works for your project, and 
 which don't.

 I have some friends that love IntelliJ and would never go back to 
 Eclipse again. In my opinion, if you aren't crazy yet because of the 
 plug-in hell, Eclipse can still do a good job. Like Ed said, it's the best 
 free IDE available.

Re: What is best IDE for developing GWT applications?

@Ed: Don't get me wrong. I like Eclipse and I am basically an Eclipse-only 
developer. I would use it to brew coffee if there was a plug in. :D

What I'm just missing are some basic support e.g. if I use GWTP I want to 
see some generated code. Java/GWT has some boilerplate code that could be 
generated.

Another thing that annoys me is that @UiField thing. Sometimes it's really

search for the actual line that points out what's wrong instead of seeing 
that message in the Eclipse "Markers" view or something.

One more thing that I miss is a better Project Explorer. The files are 
sorted by type and that means you get A.java B.java A.ui.xml B.ui.xml 
instead of A.java A.ui.xml B.java B.ui.xml. 

Since I am using gwt-maven-archetypes I even have to kill the Code Server 
by hand - I cannot use the Eclipse "Debug" or "Server" view for that. 

Maybe some of that stuff could be avoided or changed but it's not supported

I find IntelliJ to be superior to eclipse, not only in its out of the box

Re: What is best IDE for developing GWT applications?

[Gilberto]

Let's get real for a moment: Eclipse is a plug-in hell.

Have you ever try to run a multi-module App Engine project with multi 
module GWT app, configured with Maven? Don't even try, go to the command 
line and run the server from there.

Sometimes you lose days of work just setting up the environment. And that 
sucks.

But, I still use it. I prefer how Eclipse deal with git and how it's code 
completion works (ctrl+space for everything, instead of a different 
shortcut for each type of code completion, like on IntelliJ). It's a matter 
of knowing what is possible and what is not inside the IDE, and which 
combination of plug-ins (and its versions) works for your project, and 
which don't.

I have some friends that love IntelliJ and would never go back to Eclipse 
again. In my opinion, if you aren't crazy yet because of the plug-in hell, 
Eclipse can still do a good job. Like Ed said, it's the best free IDE 
available.

Your comment barely supported is not justified. IMHO it is the BEST free
ide available.

Is Eclipse still a thing in 2016? 

I mean it's basically working and such but I feel like I have to work with 
a very high-level engine on a barely supported IDE. Eclipse feels okay but 
I'm far away from being happy with it..

So, are you guys still using Eclipse or are there better alternatives? Or 
are there any plugins for Eclipse that I missed ..?

Thank you for reply.
Will I need some kind of plugin for developing GWT or Eclipse has it
built-in?

thanks
