Comment by foh1981: As a complete newbie, this was kinda hard for me to setup on *Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit*. It sure didn't help being a newbie of all things Eclipse either :P
Anyway, what I did was to build GWT from source from the [http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#compiling Compiling guide]. Since the Firefox-plug-in didn't work, I had to build that as well (I didn't find the plug-in in the build made from the guide above, is it there?). So I built the oophm-branch as well. This seems a bit overkill just to get the plug-in, maybe there's a flag or something for just building the Firefox plug-in? Well, anyway I used theese commands for that: {{{svn checkout http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/oophm oophm cd oophm ant}}} After all that work, I had to wrestle Eclipse a bit as well. At first, like the newbie I am, I just added the gwt-dev-oophm.jar to the "top of the classpath" as the text above says, which made it fall under the Bootstrap Entries. This turned out to be the wrong place (it rendered me a HostedMode error of some sort). You'll want to add it to the top of your project under *User Entries* like in this newly created project: {{{ - Bootstrap Entries JRE System Library [ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.13] - User Entries src - /ProjectName/ - ProjectName (default classpath) ProjectName gwt-dev-oophm.jar - /path/to/gwt-dev-oophm.jar GWT SDK [name version] }}} Also, please note the use of 32-bit JVM. Change your project to using that too. It's in the package repository for Ubuntu 9.04. Finally I think I'm ready to start playing with GWT. Earlier I used VirtualBox and a 32-bit install of Ubuntu, but that was just a pain using. Happy coding everyone! :) For more information: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/UsingOOPHM --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
