I just found out GWT Designer is now free from Google and am taking
another look at GWT.

On Eclipse 3.5 Galileo, I've installed via Install New Software, GWT
Plugin (Plugin; SDK's), and GWT Designer (GWT Designer; GWT Designer
Editor; Infrastructure) -- all the items.  Following the GWT Designer
Quick Start http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/quick_start.html
I just want to deploy the "Click me!" project generated from the
wizard to a regular Apache Web Server -- not to a Java Web Application
Server.  As I understand, I can use any server back end, and this
particular "hello world" type project does not need a back end anyway.

Do I just copy the "war" directory to my web server and launch
ImageViewer.html?  Is this an expanded "web application archive"?
I suppose I need to "Compile GWT Aplication" which added
com.mycompany.project.ImageViewer to the /war directory because it did
not work without it.  With com.mycompany.project.ImageViewer, it works
when I point my browser to the file, I didn't host it on an actual web
server.

It seems a bit large for "hello world", 3.2 MB, but it did say,
"Compiling 6 permutations", which I assume is for 6 browser quirk
permutations, which I now benefit from not having to worry about?

Before all this, I noticed I'm missing right-click on MyProject |
Google Web Toolkit | Deploy module
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/features/gwt/module_deployment.html
Need I be concerned?  I only have GWT module, GWT library, and GWT
remote service in that menu.

My Eclipse is running on a Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and the Finish
button was intermittently grayed out while trying to accept the
agreements to install the software.

I intend to get some AJAX going and I'm not sure if I'll use a Java
Web Application Server (I'm afraid of Oracle).

Am I having any false starts here?  Anything I'll need to worry about
down the road?

Regards.
