GWT library Wizard

[Fedy2]

Hi,
I'm using the GWT library Wizard (as explained here:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools ... brary.html)
to create a new project for a GWT library.
I've created an empty GWT project and then using the wizard the
library part with the html file (option: Create HTML file to allow
visual design).
Finally I've created a test Panel and now I want to test it.
If I run it as Web Application I get a blank page.

How can I test my library component with the created project?

A GWT library project is not meant to have its own UI.

If you want a UI, you should use the "Web Application Project" wizard provided by the GPE.

Thanks for the reply.

OK.

About the "Create HTML file to allow visual design" option, what is it for?
Why it creates an HTML page with title "Wrapper HTML for X", where X is the library name?
I was supposing that it was an option to let the developers to test the UI components in the library into the browser.

You would use that if you wanted to create any custom UI components for use in other projects (like custom Composites). No EntryPoint is created, so you can't easily test them there. As the name suggests, the is a library for use by other projects. If you want to test them, you woud need to include them into an EntryPoint in another project.
