I just recently downloaded the trial version and the visual editing for models works perfectly. It does not work for composites.
When I click on Design view the properties inspector is empty as is the palette. Where it normally says I have 14 days left in my trial it says Unknown Window Type.
I am using the 1.3 version of GWT. Is this something that is disabled because it is a trial version or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Jeff

Some more info. If I create a new Dialog box I get the same problem, but if I create a new Popup window I then have access to the visual editor. Then if I change the class that I used to create the popup window to extend Composite, then the editor works.

It seems to work fine on our end.
Please send us a test case (ideally your Eclipse project) and your complete Eclipse ".log" file.

I now know what the issue is. If I create a custom composite in a package with a module the visual editor works. If I create it in a separate package the visual editor shows 'Unknown Window Type'

GWT widget classes may only be used in the client package of a GWT module.
The latest build will no longer allow you to create a Composite anywhere other than the client package.
