GWT Designer Not Visiible in IDE

[Mike]

I installed GWT for Eclipse including the Designer, however I have yet
to figure out how to open a View in Design mode. There is no Design
tab, button or "show view" link in the "Window" menu .......where is
it?? - thx Mike

Have you tried opening a UI file (UiBinder XML file or GWT Java file) using the GWT Designer editor?

If you are having problems using GWT Designer, I would highly recommend taking a look at the docs.

I downloaded the google sample MVP code (Contacts) and am trying to
look at one one of the View Java files ContactsView.java in Design
mode. Is that not possible?

Hi,

You cant open your entry point class using GWT designer . Though you
can open other classes which you write using java on the GWT designer.
You have to extend the Composite
class for getting the designer of a particular class. Just right click
on the class which extends composite and go to OPENWITH->GWT
DESIGNER.

Is there an updated tutorial that shows this behavior?  The StockWatcher tutorial says that it's possible to open the designer on an EntryPoint class.

Thanks,

Patrick

Non-UiBinder EntryPoint files can definitely be opened in GWT Designer. The StockWatcher tutorial expects you to be using the full version of GWT Designer and to use its wizard to create the project. If you are creating a UiBinder-based UI, you need to open the UiBinder file, not the Java file.
