-- Option A: Import your project into Eclipse (recommended) --
If you use Eclipse, you can simply import the generated project into
Eclipse. We've tested against Eclipse 3.5. Later versions will likely
also work, earlier versions may not.
Eclipse users will need to install the following plugin components:
- Google Plugin for Eclipse (instructions at http://code.google.com/eclipse/)
- m2eclipse Core
- Maven Integration for WTP (in m2eclipse extras)
Instructions for installing the maven plugins can be found here:
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html
Ensure Eclipse is configured to use Java 1.6 as this sample uses
AppEngine.
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.
-- 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'.
