You really don't miss a whole lot .. . The Eclipse Plugin is great for newbies to get started with GWT. But once you gain some experience, it doesn't add much to your productivity. In fact - things like same folder for input as well as output have caused us great pain.
In our project, we have ANT targets to run gwtc and to start the oophm server. Individual developers are free to use their preferred IDE and configure it to invoke the appropriate ant targets. I am looking forward to the day where the plugin supports a WYSIWYG editor for the UiBinder xmls. That is perhaps the only feature that would make me start using the plugin. --Sri 2009/11/19 wil.pannell <[email protected]> > In my brief experience, there are no inherent advantages of the GWT > plugin except > > (1) the ease with which it facilitates creation of configurations for > running and debugging in hosted-mode; and > (2) the breadth of GWT examples that use eclipse. > > To point (2), there is a dearth of such examples that use IntelliJ. > I, for one, would be keenly interested in finding more such practice > with IntelliJ, as it is my preferred IDE. > > Toward that end, I hope someone with experience using GWT with > IntelliJ will chime in on this thread. > > On Nov 18, 1:52 pm, Jason Rosenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > > I see in the docs that there seems to be special support for GWT in > > Eclipse (with the developer plugin). > > > > I have been using IntelliJ, I'm wondering if I will be ok, or should > > really switch to Eclipse. > > > > IntelliJ does seem to have a GWT 'facet', but I don't think it has all > > that the eclipse plugin has. > > > > What are the main benefits of using the Eclipse GWT plugin? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Jason > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google Web Toolkit" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<google-web-toolkit%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit?hl=. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
