Kepler Eclipse and WindowBuilder GWT

I have issues installing Developer tools, Google plugin for eclipse[req], GWT Designer for GPE and SDK from ...gle.com/eclipse/plugin/4.3. I have installed Kepler SR2.

I have tried updating the software within Eclipse and also through downloading locally.

How can I get GWT installation? Are GWT under Window-builder and Google Web toolkit same? Actually, I want a GUI editor for web application.

What should I do?

Download and install a fresh copy of Eclipse IDE Java EE Developers and then install the plugin as you did in Eclipse (Help > Install new software) and you wouldn't have a problem.

The GWT plugin includes the GWT Designer for the graphic editing.

EDIT

In order to see if you have GWT Designer installed try:

1) Create a GWT project.

2) Right click on the src package and create a UiBinder file. That will create two files : a Java file et an XML file.

3) Right click on the XML file : Open With > WindowsBuilder Editor.

Before installing, you have to install in the fresh eclipse ide.

  1. Help -> Eclipse Marketplace then search for 'Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.3' and click install button
  2. Don't check any GWT Designer. Should check all above them.
  3. Help -> Install New Software... by input url at work with: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2gwt/latest/4.3
  4. Check all GWT Designer and don't check any WindowBuilder because eclipse will select the lastest modules of windowbuilder from Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.3. (In [3] its version is 1.6.0 but within google plugin is 1.6.1)
  5. When you found the problem on GWT Designer, you have to change gwt sdk to version 2.5.1
  6. Enjoy!!!

Q: Why don't I recommend you to choose gwt designer in google plugin?

A: It's not perfect designer if you would like to develop in the same past way (GWT 1.0). It's similar ASP.NET Web Form.

This is the GWT 2.0 development way: http://blog.sortedset.com/googles-app-engine-java/gwt-uibinder-helloworld-with-html/
