Installing GWT plugin in Chrome

Question

It worked like this: after opening a link with a ?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 after a suggestion GWT plugin was downloaded and installed. But I\'ve just got this

Answer 1

I think the easiest way to install the plugin is, to load the google chrome Browser with the flag –enable-easy-off-store-extension-install With this flag you disable this "feature".

Answer 2

Chrome 21 changed the policy on installing extension to chrome to "only from chrome web store".

This is already addressed in the GWT contributer group and will be fixed within a week or two.

See discussion (with workaround) from the contributer list: https://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit-contributors/browse_thread/thread/24eaf2956ca4a212#

Answer 3

Go to chrome://chrome/extensions in your browser and drag and drop the file you downloaded (should be named google-dev-pluggin.crx I think)
