I created a new project in Eclipse with the sample code option. IE prompts me to install the developer plugin, however the link does not work. After coping the plugin link I managed to install the plugin. The download page keep reappearing every time I run the application. Please assist.

Which version of GWT you are trying with? Have you tried the Super Dev mode?

2.8.0. Super Dev mode works.

The GWT browser plugins are no longer supported, though they can get installed into old versions of browsers. As of 2.7.x Super Dev mode is the supported method of development and the support for the plugin is deprecated.

I`m not sure, but I saw people were saying that they will deprecate all of dev mode code finally, one day...

No dev mode - no questions

Yes.

Google have already deleted it in their internal codebase and have been pushing for removing it from GWT proper ever since the release of GWT 2.7.

It's also highly likely that it won't even work anymore due to changes in the Java Runtime Emulation, which has started using JsInterop.

So yes, definitely, it's more deprecated than ever (read: no effort has been put to make sure it still even works), and is likely to be deleted altogether in the future (and maybe we should have done it in 2.8…)

Why not to approve the dev-mode-delete.patch ?

 You Should use super dev mode .
Because you don't have to install plugin.

You're right, maybe now is the time. I think we'll discuss this at the next Steering Committee meeting; in the meantime, feedback is welcome (e.g. if DevMode already is broken)

Dev mode works just fine with GWT 2.8 in old Firefox 24 esr and IE11.

I'm still using it (together with superdev + sdbg), and devmode is quite better and "faster to develop with" from Java point of view, because variables/expressions tabs in Eclipse are convenient and "live", also hints with values are shown on mouse over in editor.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Just after I sent my mail, I new I was probably wrong: devmode doesn't use the Java Runtime Emulation (JRE) library, and JsInterop is currently only used in the JRE.
