I've just recently started using GWT and the Google plugin for Eclipse for a school project, but I'm coming to a weird problem when trying to run programs in Chrome. When I made my first Hello World program, it worked perfectly fine, but then the next day when I tried to run it, it said I needed to download a Google developer's plugin. When I clicked the download button, I was given an Error 404 message. I kept trying to run it, and seemingly out of nowhere, it eventually started working again. I thought my problem was averted, but today, I'm getting the same message. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

The Developer plugin won't work in the recent versions of Chrome.
(Dev mode is deprecated by most recent browsers).

For relatively new GWT developers the difference between running the application from within Eclipse in Classic Dev mode and Super Dev mode may not be apparent. Classic Dev mode (the one that requires a browser plugin) is no longer supported. These plugins are no longer available. Super Dev mode is the best choice.

Right click your project > select 'Run As' > Web Application (GWT Super Dev Mode>. This will let you run your application. You could also try the 'Debug As' choice to debug the server side code.
