Big thanks to everyone for your excellent replies, especially Jamie
for the links, etc.
My background is in native C++, with some C#/ASP.NET, but I am a
novice to eclipse/GWT.
I hope this is good reference for others.
Cheers,

Hey Guidobot,
Are you hitting the red toolbox button to do the compile? I don't
think that button is supposed to pop up a web browser. (you could do a
compile to js without having the server running, for example).
Let us know if that doesn't answer your question!
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Alex.
I was basically working through the Stock Watcher tutorial to ensure
everything was working. In step 2 this says After the application is
compiled, a new browser window opens., which was the case using
hosted mode.
There was also a note about Firefox being the default
Hi Guidobot,
If I understand correctly, when you compile the project from either
the Eclipse toolbar button or from ant, the resulting application is
broken (pop-up doesn't work), but if you compile from the GWT hosted
browser, it does? If this is the case, we need to figure out what is
going
Guidobot,
I think you're just confusing the compile/browse feature of hosted
mode with a normal compile operation. Opening a browser window to show
your newly compiled application isn't a part of compilation, it's an
extra that the hosted mode UI does for you. Running compile from
Ant, Eclipse,
Btw, after I have compiled, can I just link to a particular html file
using IE to see the project run? StockWatcher.html didn't work -
perhaps I need apache running or something when not using GWT host?
Cheers
Yep... you need to run some sort of web server/container, such as
Apache Tomcat
Sorry Guidobot, I think I misunderstood your original question. If
you were expecting the Eclipse button or ant to pop-up a browser
window at the end of compilation, then as Alex and Isaac pointed out,
this is a function of the GWT hosted browser only. I apologize for
the confusion!

Has anyone else had this problem?
I compile a project from Eclipse, which works, but a browser does not
show pop-up (running the JS).
Oddly, all works fine if I Compile/Browse from the GWT host. On the
otherhand, 'ant build' has a similar problem (it compiles but does not
launch a browser).
