How to configure Ext GWT with GWT Designer?

Question

I have problem with configuration GXT with GWT Designer. I have all new releases of Eclipse, GWT plugin and GXT and cannot configure GXT to work with GWT Designer. I setup my project so that I can compile my GXT project and run it in browser. However I can't design in GWT Designer. I don't see any GXT widget in GWT Designer. All forums reffer to Google Web Toolkit -> Configure for using Ext-GWT (GXT) but I don't have this option. I have done all steps defined in setup.txt of GXT. The only thing that is not working is GWT designer do not see GXT widgets.

Regrads,

Solution 1

Folks:

It simply appears that GXT 3 is not supported in the latest version of Windowbuilder. Period. All the instructions given in this thread work well for GXT 2, but GXT 3 has radical differences (different styling mechanisms, for one thing!) that Windowbuilder cannot seem to handle.

This is a bug that needs to be fixed in Windowbuilder.

Solution 2

I had this problem. I solved by installing:

(If you are using Eclipse Indigo) http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2gwt/latest/3.7

Just check for the version you have. That should do the trick.

Solution 3

I see this is an old article, but might still help people with the same problem. If you right click on your gwt.xml file, the options are visible, if you click on your project, the options are not visible. That's the problem I was having.
