Eclipse GWT unable to click "Next" on GWT classes

Question

I am trying to run my "Hello world" in GWT and using Eclipse. But I cannot create a module.

I right click on my package in the src-folder. Then I click other, find GWT classes, and choose Module. When I want to click next, it does not move to "next".

The next button works for all other gwt classes.

My download progress has been the following:

1. Download eclipse
2. Download the gwt plugin from the marketplace
3. Download the 2.9 sdk

Creation of the project progress:

1. New GWT Application project

2. Write name of project and package

3. Click so generate sample code is off

4. I create it, but get the following error:

   The project description file (.project) for 'new project' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until this file is restored.
   

My attempt at creating the module:

1. Right click of package in src
2. Click other
3. Find gwt classes
4. Click on module
5. Click on next
6. Nothing happens.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I, personally, use Maven and have not to deal with the Eclipse set up. There are several places where you can generate a ready-to-go GWT project:

• https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes

• https://github.com/NaluKit/gwt-maven-springboot-archetype

• http://www.mvp4g.org/boot-starter-nalu/BootStarterNalu.html

Follow the instructions on the page or inside the project to get it working.
