Installing GWT plugin with Eclipse

Question

I am trying to use GWT and I am very new to it. Following the doc, I tried to install the GWT plugin for Eclipse but then I have an error message :

Cannot c         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue, but I think it's because I was using eclipse Juno (the google documentation says to use indigo). The jetty project recently moved under the eclipse umbrella, and the jetty bundles (org.mortbay.jetty.server) were renamed (see http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/jetty/). Thus the 3.7 google plugins wouldn't be able to resolve dependencies correctly.

Answer 2

This is because you're attempting to use the latest Juno build, 4.2, with a plugin link for 3.7.

Use the following update site: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.2

Everything should work fine now.

Answer 3

If you still want the earlier (3.x) version of the plugin try copying the plugins directory of some team member who already has that version of the plugin installed. I couldn't imagine the reason why google decomittioned the previous version of the plugin!
