GWT: eclipse debugging

I'm trying to migrate a netbeans/ant gwt project to an eclipse/maven gwt project.

For that I used the archetype gwt-maven-archetypes, to create a maven project, and after that I copied the sources. I had succesfully been able to run codeserver and the application itself, using maven comands, as suggested by the archetype author. I even can debug on chrome dev console.

The problem, is that I want to debug from eclipse, and it seems eclipse gwt plugin, doesn't support the current structure.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Solution

  • I ended up, giving up this archetype, and I'm using now simple webapp maven archetype. I figured it out, but still a little tricky on my project.

    So, as @ElHoss, has suggested I'm using SDBG. Besides that, I'm not using jetty, but my own tomcat installation, so I've followed this video instructions, together with the SDBG page video's instruction.

    At the end, I have 3 Running Configuration items:

    • The one that starts Tomcat;
    • The one that starts codeserver;
    • Chrome Launcher, as instructed on SDBG page.

    If you need plus information, please comment.

    Thanks.
