What Is My Development Computer and Software Environment
top
o My computer is a 64 bit machine, which about 3 years old. It has a intel Core i7 2.20GZ processor with 8GB Ram
o I will be using Eclipse 4.3, Kepler, and its plugin
o I will be using Firefox version 24 and not the latest version 32 as 12/2014. Why?
Issue with Latest Eclipse GWT Plugin
top
o Please go to http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=8561
See this:
“There won’t be a DevMode plugin for Firefox 27 onward,
Mozilla just killed DevMode in Firefox. Your choices are: SuperDevMode,
use Firefox 24 ESR (so it won’t break until the next ESR), use
another browser (but who knows when they’ll kill DevMode too?)”
o More on this on the upcoming lessons
Create Our Development Sandbox
top
o As part of being a professional and for personal use
o It’s good idea to have a sandbox to install software
o But, mainly have a clearly defined place to put your work
o The base directory on my machine is:
H:/gwtsandbox/
o I have these subdirectories:
H:/gwtsandbox/bin/
H:/gwtsandbox/download
H:/gwtsandbox/workspacegwt
Please create these directory structure, which we will use throught our tutorials.
The Sandox SubDirectories
top
o ./bin is where I put my development executable software
like eclipse and firefox
o ./download is where I place all the downloaded softwares
o Let’s say 5 years from now, I want to review this work again.
I have all the software on a neat tidy place and don’t have
to download them again. That’s if I can find it to download.
o ./workspacegwt is the workspace needed for our
eclipse development
o Next, let us “Downloading Softwares Needed for Basic GWT Development ”
