Hello friends,

Is anyone using Intellij IDEA for GWT/GAE development?

If you are, could you please share your experience on how
you run your application in dev mode?

Thanks

no idea what gae is, but i use idea+gwt. using devmode is easy. you just
need to make sure all the sources are in the classpath. go to
settings|compiler|resource pattern and add a pattern for all source
files. then simply run devmode and point it at a *.gwt.xml

when making a change, i recompile, causing idea to copy all modified
sources and press f5 in my browser. the devmode will recompile
everything by itself.

i do not start the application as a dev-mode-gwt-page from idea. the app
server runs independently from devmode, i just hook it in when i need
it. someone else in my team took care of the "hooking in". i can check
how it works if you need to know. afaik it's just another parameter in
the URL that makes browser connect to a running devmode instance.

Hi,

I've been using Idea for months.
 - GAE Java + GWT for some projects. As HamsterOfDeath said: run the app, edit the files, and then F5 to reload the page.
 - I've used GAE Go too for the server side, so I have a terminal to run dev_appserver, and start GWT without the web server (devmode only).
