Hi Fred, There's a quick explanation at the end of day 1 in the emails you can get on my site. So you don't have to bother signing up for it, I've pasted it in here. There might be a couple of course-specific references in there, but you'll get the idea.

What I tend to do, is simply to copy the project in Eclipse, and change a couple of names in a couple of files. It may look quite complicated written out as it is below, but you'll soon get the hang of it, and really all it comes down to is pressing F2 a couple of times to rename a couple of things and then updating a few references. If you want to try it with the creators that Google supplies, then give it a go, and see you back here when you get fed up. Copy The Project As Something Else With the actual project selected in the Project Explorer, press Control+C, Control+V. Change the name to whatever you want the new project to be called and click OK. I'm assuming you called it NewApp for the purposes of the next few paragraphs, but substitute you own new name, of course. Change The References Open up the NewApp project and select the last file in that directory which is called AppMin.launch. Press F2 and rename it NewApp.launch. You can actually call this file anything you like, but it makes sense to call it the same as the project. Double-click the newly named file and find an occurrence of the string 'AppMin' (note the capitalisation). The easiest place to find it is at the end of the second to last line. Press Control+F to bring up the Find/Replace dialogue. The Find text box should be filled in for you, so fill in the Replace With text box with the new project name, and click Replace All. There should be four replaced occurrences. Change The Package Name You don't actually have to do this step if you are just playing around, although there is a slight possibility that if you don't do it, then when you try to run the project you'll get some previous project with the same package name, but I haven't come across this very often. Open up the /src/ directory in the new project and select the first entry ('com.roughian.appmin'). Press F2 to rename it. For the purposes of these instructions I'm assuming that you're going to change it to 'com.roughian.newapp'. In the Rename Package dialogue, and to the new name in the text box, and ensure that you have checked Update references, and Rename subpackages. Click OK. Update Package Name References There are three places where you have to update the package name manually. The rest have been done automatically by Eclipse. · In the index.htm file you have to modify the script tag. · In the Module.gwt.xml file you have to change the entry point tag. · In the .launch file you have to change the third-to-last line. And you are done. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
