How to import samples of GWT into Eclipse

[Jaap]

I've just installed gwt and appengine eclipse plugins and now would
like to import the sample projects ( located in the samples directory
into eclipse )

The README.txt in all the samples say the following

---
If you use Eclipse, you can simply import the generated project into
Eclipse.
We've tested against Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4. Later versions will likely
also
work, earlier versions may not.

In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose:

File -> Import... -> Existing Projects into Workspace

Browse to the directory containing this file,
select "Hello".

Be sure to uncheck "Copy projects into workspace" if it is checked.

Click Finish.

You can now browse the project in Eclipse.
----
However I cannot click the Finish button because Eclipse does not
recognize the project. I think it's because it's missing eclipse
project files.

How can I get this to work?

Thanks

Jaap

Hi ,

I've got the same problem.

In older versions wiht de command word applicationCreator and the
option -eclipse -ignore I could resolve this problem, but not now with
te webAppCreator command because the option -eclipse doesn't exists.

Thanks anybody can help us

webAppCreator, from what I remember, automatically creates the ant tasks, eclipse project, & eclipse launch files.

Thanks a lot, Vitali.

You're rihgt : webAppCreator creates the eclipse project , and it
doesn't need -ecllipse option like in applicationCreator.

The only problem now is I would like import the Showcase sample, but
webAppCreator command doesn't accept 'Showcase' because it does not
appear be a valid fully-qualified Java class name. ( I've tried this
command : webAppCretaor Showcase -ignore
com.google.gwt.samples.showcase.client.Showcase )

thanks a lot

I just tried this on Eclipse 3.4
1) Create a project named "Showcase"
file > new > project

2) Import the Showcase files
right-click on the project name

This will import the source into your workspace. Use build.xml to build
the project. The build will fail as the gwt-servlet.jar is in a shared
directory which doesn't get brought into the project via this method.

Thank you very much, Jeff !

This solution have been right.

So what exactly do I have to do?
Where in my Cmdline do i have to go and what do I have to execute to
be able to import the samples as eclipse projects?

Use the below command line

projectCreator.cmd -out <projectname> -eclipse <projectName>

Cheers,

The simplest way I think , for example with Showcase sample, is creat
a new Showcase project with eclipse gwt pluguin, and then import files
from original showcase sample.

With command line you must try webAppCreator in GWT 1.6.
