GoogleWebToolkit

Current

Recommended Environment

This is what I've used for this project.

• Java 1.5
• Eclipse Ganymede (3.4)
• Google Web Toolkit - GWT 1.6.4. (1.7.0 is available.)
• Google Maps API for GWT
• Tomcat 6.0 for deployed mode of operation
• HTMLUnit - for server-side HTML parsing
• Firebug - Firefox plugin for inspecting DOM, CSS, & HTML documents.
• SVN for source control.
• JIRA for issue/bug management.

Maven

• Project has releases controlled by Maven: GoogleWebToolkitMaven includes a tutorial I'm assembling.
• Instead of using Cypal, I'm trying out this Maven Plugin from CodeHaus.
• Creation of project using archetype is described on this page, but is superceded by using the m2Eclipse plugin from within Eclipse.

Investigating

• GWTChismes Widgets (and the GWTChismes API).

GWT Reference

• Intro and download page
• GWT Developer's Guide
• Widget Gallery
• GWT API
• Services Plumbing Diagram
• Wiki containing useful information, libraries, widgets, and examples:

Google Maps API for GWT

• Using Google Maps API requires obtaining a key for each website. This is described on the page GoogleMapsAPIKey.
• Of course, the Google Maps API comes in a GWT flavor: (Documentation)
• GMaps API
• This tutorial recommends using the Cypal plugin, but I've moved to this Maven Plugin from CodeHaus.
• Development Tips - Things I've worked through and want to remember, but don't do often enough to become trained.

Prototypes

• GPX Route Editor Prototype - Allows cut/paste operations on GPX files graphically.
• Show Routes Prototype - Displays current Bikely Routes for Atlanta on a single map and also accepts parameter to show a particular user's routes.

Historical

• I've downloaded GWT 1.5.x, but in June 2009, moved to 1.6.4. 1.7.0 is available.
• Cypal Studio plugin originally, but move to this Maven Plugin from CodeHaus.
