Hi I'm evaluating WindowBuilder from GWT 2.3.1.
Its more stable and more useful than earlier versions. However, I'm encountering two major problems:
A. Error reporting is pathetic. It also seems that whatever WB does when it finds an error involves it parsing all the source files it can find. My project has a number of subsidiary GWT modules which have <import .... excludes="**/*Test.java" /> (for example). However WB seems to complete ignore these and thus I get 100's of lines of spurious errors complaining about not being able to find files which should have been excluded. The program runs fine in dev. mode and compiles without error using the GWT compiler so the problem is specific to WB. Even then, frequently it won't show the actual error, and I have to resort to commenting out blocks of markup to see where the problem lies.
B. When you switch into XML Source mode and enter a "<", eclipse immediately goes unresponsive with a message 'Loading referenced grammars (Sleeping)" in the progress window. I've noticed that this also coincides with a lot of network activity. Is this an issue with a schema or DTD? If so, it could probably be avoided by including these in the distribution and setting the appropriate XML dictionary reference in Eclipse. Since it doesn't actually say what the 'reference grammars' are, there's noting that I can do but wait. Thus, I find myself with lots of time to send whining messages to the GWT list! Occasionally it never returns, and I have to terminate eclipse and start over.
I've looked around for comments on these points and found nothing useful. If somebody has any input on them I'd be very grateful - otherwise I'll report them as bugs - (where?)
