I just installed GPE 2.4 beta and it sure seems to me that GWT
Designer design windows are coming up faster - much faster! Tell me
I'm not imagining things..... So, this must be a new feature in 2.4.
I'm a big advocate of GWT Designer and this helps tremendously.
Thanks!!

Could be because of this?:

Couldn't easily get the gist of your links.... Could you summarize?

One thing I've just noticed. I used to hesitate to open a gwt designer
window because it took so long. Now that the wait is dramatically
shorter, I use the designer window just to navigate my code, even when
I don't have any gui changes to make. Cool!

As you noticed, we have been working on a lot of optimizations that
should result is a much better user experience. The first time you
access GWTD in a session, it still needs to warm up dev mode (which
takes most of the time...and is itself much faster now). Subsequent
editor opening operations should be much quicker and switching between
source and design mode should be extremely quick.

Yes, precisely what I've noticed. Very excellent. Thanks. I am having
a persistent and time consuming GWT Designer problem, however. Seems
with all versions: 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 beta. See
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6457&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Milestone%20Summary%20Stars.
Would be great is someone could help me get to the bottom of this.

Make sure you are using the latest GWT Designer build...

I am using the latest version of GPE from http://code.google.com/eclipse/beta/docs/download.html.
Does this include the latest version of Designer? Or, should I
download Designer separately per the link below? Thanks. BTW, my
workaround has been to uninstall and reinstall. Since the last time I
did this (a couple of days ago) I haven't seen the problem again.

If uninstalling and reinstalling actually solved the problem, then
perhaps something had locally corrupted your GPE installation. That
specific error looked like something we might see in conjunction with
an bad or incomplete update/install. Updating to the latest GWTD build
(which is basically a reinstall as it updates all of the GWTD plugins)
would solve also have likely solved the problem.

The latest GPE beta does not include the latest GWT Designer build as
GWT Designer is refreshed more frequently.
