Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox - where is it?

[Rich]

Hello,

I am trying to install Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox
on a new Windows 7 (64bit) computer with FireFox 3.6.8 .

On a different computer, I have a version of FireFox 3.6.8 that is
using Google Web Toolkit Developer Plug-in for Firefox version
1.0.7511 so I know that it can be done. Some how. Or has been done.

But when I search for Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox
anywhere, I can not find it. In particular when I search for Google
Web Toolkit Developer Plugin for Firefox in the Firefox Add-on
directory, it finds 0 results.

Can you tell me where it is? Do I need to change versions of
FireFox? I am calling it up from STS (Eclipse) on a project that
uses GWT 2.0.3.

Thanks.

Regards,


Rich

Hello,

OK. This doesn't quite work. I saved it to a file.
From
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/?r=7211

I then did Open File | the xpi file

It says "Firefox could not install the file at
file:///C:/download/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi

because: Not a valid install package
-207

Is this the procedure you meant?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8, Win 7 64bit with GWT 2.0.3 or 2.0.4

Thanks

Regards,

OK. That literally solved it.

1. Go to the following archive:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/?r=8276#prebuilt%3Fstate%3Dclosed

2. Click on gwt-dev-plugin.xpi so that the screen reads

This file is too large to display.
View raw file

3. Right-click and Save Link As on View raw file. The saved file
should be several Meg about 4.9M in size. (If it's only 23K you
haven't saved the file).

4. Drag it onto a FireFox window.

This should install the plugin.
