Your question made me curious and I tried this myself. It took me
quite a while to get everything up and running. So here it goes:
Mind you, I am not using Parallels but Vmware Fusion. This should not
really matter, accept for the network configuration of your virtual
machine. I tried both "bridged mode" and "host-only" mode for the
network connection setting in Fusion and they both worked. Check if
you can successfully ping your Mac from a Windows command line. (Note:
depending on your network settings in Parallels your Mac will be
reachable by different IPs. On your Mac you can use Terminal and the
ifconfig command to list all network devices, which should also list
the virtual devices of Parallels. If in doubt, try all IP addresses
you can find. Note 2: Make sure your Mac's firewall is turned of for
this work.)
If you can successfully ping your Mac from Windows, you are all set.
For the rest of this message I will assume that your Mac can be
reached at the IP 10.0.0.10 from your Windows machine.
The toughest part was figuring out how to convince the GWT's embedded
Jetty to listen at this address. Looking through some of GWT's source
could gave me the hint: Google for "junit gwt bind address" did the
trick. The option is called "-bindAddress" and you need to pass it as
program arguments in the run-configuration ("Run as...") in Eclipse as
so:
-bindAddress 10.0.0.10
That's it. Run your project and you should see Development Mode tab in
Eclipse telling you to point your browser to something starting with
"http://10.0.0.10/...";.
Now you can point your browser in Parallels to that address and
everything should work as expected. It does for me.
And sorry for the lengthy explanation.
Best regards,
Stefan
