GWT Design view throws RuntimeException

[sape]

I installed the GWT designer on a clean Eclipse 3.3 but it doesn't seem to work. I get the following stack trace. Does anybody have an idea why I get this exception?

Code: Select all

Stack Trace:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error (The specified module could not be found.
) executing JavaScript:
window["__defineStatic"] = function(__arg0) { window.__static = __arg0;
};

I tried the options on the FAQ but it still keeps giving me that exception
Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

[Eric Clayberg]

Are you able to launch the file you are trying to edit with the Run As > GWT Application command?

Is GWT hosted mode working in general?

Do you have a working IE6/7 Javascript environment?

The exception you sent implies a local configuration problem with your machine. The suggestions in the FAQ are the only known solutions.

I haven't changed anything since the last post I did but I guess a miracle happened .. I reinstalled it again and it works

Thanks for your help.
