I use IntelliJ Ultimate and thus also using the GWT plugin. I don't use it to run GWT but instead use it for the enhanced code navigation, error checks, auto completion, etc.. But as far as I know you can only use it if you pay for Ultimate. However Jetbrains said in an issue that supporting the GWT plugin isn't priority anymore and they consider making it open source. I guess they have some metrics and the GWT plugin isn't used often enough these days.
The JS debugger is ok, basically what you have in Chrome you then have in IntelliJ. I used it a few times but it annoyed me to always switch between browser and IDE if you put some breakpoints here and there and have to trigger them using the app UI in the browser. If I remember correctly the main benefit from debugging via IntelliJ was that you could navigate code more easily and thus peek at method implementations without actually entering them with the debugger. In the browser you cannot "click into" a method implementation while debugging as you only see a sourcemapped version of the original Java code. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
