unable to instal and use gwt-plugin in Eclipse 2022-06 or Eclipse 2022-09

[Christian Nzhie]

I am using Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers - 2022-09 and am unable to install and use gwt plugin.

1. I have before then used Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers - 2022-06 with the same result. The plugin doesn't install in eclipse.

How to use gwt now as i can't use it through my IDE.?

I am facing the same problems here, having teams of developers only familiar with the GWT plugin.

Unfortunately, the alternative is ratehr tricky.

To my understanding it involves use of Maven run configurations within Eclipse respective to the GWT plugin run configurations plus forcing "maven-install-plugin" to run within Eclipse.

see https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/release-notes-17.html#new-syntax-for-specifying-lifecycle-mapping-metadata

I am afraid GWT plugin is sadly leaving us.

I hope this helps you.

For the time being you can install the plugin from 

https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-eclipse-plugin/issues/406#issuecomment-1278543693

The linked comment in that issue contains a download to install the plugin from your disk. Someone also made an update site in some other comments in that issue. Also note that if you use the download you might need to install some other Eclipse plugins the GWT plugin depends on. See my comment in the linked issue above.
