Hi all, Just a little clarification here (see inline comments below): c) The hosted mode browser requires a 32 bit compiler. But google has > stopped recommending this browser for a long time.
The current hosted browser is still recommended for the latest and current GWT 1.7 release. Also, as Sri mentioned, hosted mode does require a 32-bit JDK because of its dependency on SWT bindings. You can also use Out-of-Process Hosted Mode (OOPHM) from trunk if you wish, which will work with a 64-bit JDK. Other developers have already had success with it, but your mileage may vary. Using OOPHM: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/UsingOOPHM Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel > Instead, you should > get hold of gwt-oophm.jar and use it for development purposes.
