Why won't the GWT designer for eclipse work with GXT 3 widgets?


I'm trying to work with GXT 3 widgets in the GWT designer, without success.

I successfully managed to use GXT 2.2 with the designer but when switched to GXT 3, it seems that resources and images are missing. this seems odd because there are no folders for resources and images in GXT 3. What's going on here?

I am using GXT 3.0 GPL and Eclipse Indigo 3.7


Solution

  • GXT 3 is not compatible with the Google plugin For Eclipse, thus you won't be able to use the GWT Designer to manipulate GXT 3 widgets.

    The Google plugin and GWT Designer are compatible only with GXT 2.2 and currently there are not active projects designated to provide support for GXT3, due to the GPE becoming an open-source. This is, in my opinion, a job for the sencha community.
