create a .war file from gwt-project

Question

How do I create a .war-file from my gwt-project in eclipse?

Answer 1

Using Eclipse:

1. right click the project

2. choose Google→GWT Compile

3. when compilation has finished, the console will say i.e.

   Linking into /home/janus/bpworkspace/gwtwerkstatt2/war/gwtwerkstatt2

   Link succeeded

   Compilation succeeded -- 28.623s

4. open a terminal and navigate to the directory

5. create the WAR: jar cv * > /tmp/myGWTproject.war

6. you can now launch it with jetty-runner or similar: java -jar jetty-runner-8.1.7.v20120910.jar /tmp/myGWTproject.war
