How can I modify *.lauch for GWT shell

[chuhan]

Hi,

Beause of some reasons, I have to modify *.launch file for GWT shell. According to your manaul, *.launch file is automatically generated when I start a gwt application. How can I add customized configuration to the file.

1. I need to increase the heap memory for GWT shell - because of 'out of memory' error when compiling.
2. I need to add GWT third party library path to the shell.

thanks in advance.

1. I need to increase the heap memory for GWT shell - because of 'out of memory' error when compiling.

In our latest build, we've added a Java Arguments page to the GWT launch configuration, so it is now possible to set the heap settings in the "VM arguments" block.

2. I need to add GWT third party library path to the shell.

The classpath should not be modified using the launch configuration. The standard Java property pages should be used instead.

I have the same problem. I need to add a few third party jars to the server. Your post is not very clear how to do it. Can you explain a bit more how to do within eclipse?

You want the Java Build Path page in the project's Property dialog.

Alternatively, you can edit your project's .classpath file by hand.

Thanks for your reply. You are correct. It turns out to be my own problem. The third party jar reference s other jars that need to be in the build path. It works now after I add them.
