Install ant and/or setup your PATH environment variable. Ant is available from http://ant.apache.org But if you're a beginner, I'd recommend you use Eclipse with the Google Plug-in for Eclipse. N.B.: the Getting Started page [1] says, at the very bottom: """If you have not set up your development environment with the Java SDK, a Java IDE such as Eclipse, and the latest distribution of Google Web Toolkit, do that before you begin.""" With "before you begin" linking to the Tutorials page's Before You Begin section [2], which in turn says: """If your Java IDE does not include Apache Ant support, you can download and unzip Ant to easily compile and run GWT applications.""" With "Ant" linking to the above-mentioned http://ant.apache.org [1] http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/gettingstarted.html [2] http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/index.html#prerequisites -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
