GWT 2.0: Debug with Firefox and Eclipse

When GWT was working with its internal browser, debugging from Eclipse
was simple. I just marked the breakpoints and ran as debug. However,
it doesn't seem to work with GWT 2.0 and Firefox. Any idea what am I
missing?

Thanks

Anyone managed to debug with GWT 2.0? I don't get a prompt to install
the developer plugin. Even when I installed it manually, nothing
happens. Breakpoints just don't halt the running.

Mac 10.6 (updated to the latest), Eclipse 3.5.1, Java 1.6.0
Tried with the latest stable Firefox and Chrome

do you have the "?gwt.codesvr=localhost:9997" added to your urls?!
usually that's the problem ... if you do have the parameter and still
no debuging ... then i don't know

Check if the message below is on console output.

[WARN] The class com.google.gwt.dev.HostedMode is deprecated and will
be removed --
use com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode instead.

If the message is present on your console, change your main class from
com.google.gwt.dev.HostedMode to com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode.
And if the problem persist, check the Compile & Debug tips in this
url : http://code.google.com/intl/pt-BR/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCompilingAndDebugging.html#DevGuideDevMode

I did make the upgrade to 2.0 version and the debug is working
fine. :-)

Cheers.

I opened a new project and it works fine. I am still trying to migrate
existing project. Any idea what I may be missing? I already switched
the SDK to 2.0

OK. I got it fixed. Had to clean some stuff in the app's XML and class
path. Was a bit messy, but now it's working. Thank you all

Did you try relaunching your application and Firefox after you
installed the plugin?

Actually, I just relaunched the debugger and switched to debug mode,
and am now able to hit the breakpoints.

It doesn't seem to hit breakpoints for me either. Is it supposed to
debug with an external Firefox browser?
