Getting started with the SuperDevMode

Question

I just want to run a simple app using superDevMode to know its benefits. The CodeServer is getting started successfully, but it is complaining there is no gwt modules to com

Answer 1

I took a slightly different approach. I started with existing Hello project and then configured it to work in Super Dev Mode.

A. Build and Deploy war for the hello project into tomcat.

B. Add a target to the build.xml of Hello project.

C. Run the code server using ant codeserver from command prompt.

D. Launch Browser and Navigate to http://localhost:9876/ Create the bookmarks

E. Launch Chrome Dev Tools (F12) and Enable SourceMaps.

F. Launch Browser and Navigate to http://localhost:8080/Hello

G. Click on "Dev Mode ON" bookmark when you are in page http://localhost:8080/Hello

H. Click on "Compile" button to instruct the code server to load the gwt source code to the browser as source maps.

I. Hurrah the java files are fetched and can be seen in source tab of the Chrome Development Console.

J. Find the Hello.java . Click on the line number to set Debug point @ Window.alert("Hello, AJAX"); .

K. Click on "Click Me" in the Hello World. The code stops at your Debug point in the java file in Chrome!!!!!!!! Hurray.
