Hi Scott, your post makes me think it might be time to retire the webAppCreator Getting Started tutorial in favor of Google Plugin for Eclipse. It used to be that webAppCreator produced custom shell scripts to start/stop the app; however, they were a pain to maintain on all platforms and the Google Plugin for Eclipse offers a better experience overall, so the only way to start the built-in Web server with the webAppCreator-generated build.xml is to run ant devmode. The way to switch from dev mode to production mode is simply to drop "?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997" from the URL. That's the hook that invokes the dev mode plugin in the browser, and without it, you'll be running the compiled JS instead.
I think it's easier to get started with GWT by working your way down the left nav in the Google Plugin for Eclipse user guide: http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/users_guide.html Feel free to post back with anything you find confusing. /dmc On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 1:12 AM, sf_g...@bellsouth.net <sf_g...@bellsouth.net > wrote: > Okay, brand new to GWT, I am starting at ground zero with the first > app tutorial at > http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/gettingstarted.html#create > The "MyWebApp" runs fine in devmode (ant devmode from the MyWebApp > directory.
