If by "regular java app" you mean a Swing application, then no, you can't. the Google *Web* Toolkit is for building web application. GWT has its own set of widgets that you use instead of Swing components. > I got the plug in for eclipse and got a > program to run ok, but every time I run or debug it, it starts up > Google's local web server and runs the application in Google's > broawer from the local web server.

The browser is actually a normal browser embedded in a Java app, although which browser depends on your OS. This development/debugging setup is called "hosted mode." > Also after I run the program I must close down Googles server or > I get a socket error. Because the port is already in use. When you hit run again, you're trying to start a new server on the same port. That causes an error.

That'll pick up the changes you made in the client and display the new version of your app. No need to close the browser window or the server, most of the time. Hope some of that helps. Let us know if you have more questions. - Isaac On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 10:13 AM, tedpottel<[email protected]> wrote: > > New GWT user > > Hi I’m starting to use GWT and got it to work, but confused about some > issues > 1.
