How can I bring up the split-view in GPE?

[Warren Tang]

I opened an ui.xml file but found no where to invoke the split-view. How can I bring it up?

Windows -> Preferences -> Google -> Web Toolkit -> Designer -> Editor Layout

Hi Ido,

I didn't find "Designer" under "Web Toolkit". I am using Eclipse Indigo and just updated GPE from 2.3 to 2.4 via Eclipse Update.

Did you try the Editor Layout preference?

[Eric Clayberg (Google)]

Did you install GWT Designer?

[Warren Tang]

Certainly. I cannot find "editor layout". Could you be more specific?

I don't have that "designer" option. I've checked my installed details,
and the versions of GPE, GWT and GWT Designer are all 2.4.0.r37

Please see the picture:

Looks like GWT Designer is not installed for some reason. Try installing it again from the GPE update site or the GWT Designer  update site.

Tested with a new Eclipse Indigo 64-bit installation, I found that if I install GWT Designer from its own update site, it doesn't work; however if I install the GWT Designer using GPE update site, it works fine.

The Google > Web Toolkit > Designer > Editor Layout pref is only available from the GPE update site.

If you install the full version of GWT Designer from its own update site, you have to look at the WindowBuilder > Editor Layout pref instead.

Thanks for help.

By the way. Wouldn't it be more intuitive and straight forward if we add a "split" tab just beside the "XML Source" and "Design" tab, just like this:
