| -- Option A: Import your project into Eclipse (recommended) -- |
| |
| Configure Eclipse following the instructions at |
| http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/WorkingWithMaven#Using_Maven_with_Google_Plugin_for_Eclipse |
| |
| In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose: |
| |
| File -> Import... -> Existing Maven Projects into Workspace |
| |
| Browse to the directory containing this file, |
| select "Expenses". |
| |
| Click Finish. |
| |
| You can now browse the project in Eclipse. |
| |
| To launch your web app in GWT development mode |
| |
| Go to the Run menu item and select Run -> Run as -> Web Application. |
| |
| - To load a set of initial data choose: LoadExpensesDB.html |
| |
| - To run the Expenses Application choose: Expenses.html |
| |
| - To run the Mobile version of the Expenses Application choose: |
| ExpensesMobile.html |
| |
| When prompted for which directory to run from, simply select the directory |
| that Eclipse defaults to. |
| |
| You can now use the built-in debugger to debug your web app in development mode. |
| |
| GWT developers (those who build GWT from source) may add their |
| gwt-user project to top of this project's class path in order to use |
| the built-from-source version of GWT instead of the version specified |
| in the POM. |
| |
| Select the project in the Project explorer and select File > Properties |
| |
| Select Java Build Path and click the Projects tab |
| |
| Click Add..., select gwt-user, and click OK |
| |
| Click Order and Export and move gwt-user above Maven Dependencies |
| |
| -- Option B: Build from the command line with Maven -- |
| |
| If you prefer to work from the command line, you can use Maven to |
| build your project (http://maven.apache.org/). You will also need Java |
| 1.6 JDK. Maven uses the supplied 'pom.xml' file which describes |
| exactly how to build your project. This file has been tested to work |
| against Maven 2.2.1. The following assumes 'mvn' is on your command |
| line path. |
| |
| To run development mode use the Maven GWT Plugin. |
| |
| cd src/main/webapp; mvn -f ../../../pom.xml gwt:run |
| |
| To compile your project for deployment, just type 'mvn package'. |
