Google Plugin for Eclipse & GWT Designer

[jcmorris-mts]

Hi Eric,
Can you tell us about what impact the new [GWT] Google Plugin for Eclipse will have on the pending support for and integration with GWT 1.6?

The main issues for me are that:

i) Support for GWT 1.6 fully embraces the new WAR-based project structure and that
ii) GWT Designer's workflow seamlessly supports the whole app creation process as outlined by Google (i.e. there should not be a "Google way" and an "Instantiations way" of building a GWT web app -- though obviously there could be many workflows) IOW -- I'd expect GWT Designer's 1.6-compatible wizards to mirror Google's documented app creation workflow.

Thanks,

Yes, we will fully support the GWT 1.6 project structure.

Our project wizard will create GWT projects with the same structure, however without the GPE builders and natures. If you need them - just create the project using the GPE as GWT Designer will be able to work with those projects as well.

We will also change the RemoteService wizard the RemoteService refactorings to update the web.xml file.

Excellent! Thanks Eric!
I'm looking forward to renewing my GWT Designer license.
