Getting startd with SmartGWT and Netbeans 6.5 Tutorial

[javanewb]

I accidentally started this post in the wrong forum, so here it is again.

I have created a step-by-step tutorial on configuring Netbeans 6.5 and SmartGWT. It was originally an internal document to help my colleagues get setup.

I would appreciate any feedback, and also a possible permanent home, as I am not sure how long this will be hosted here. (Probably until someone tells me to remove it.)

The link:

Hopefully, this will prove useful.

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing.

I too am a long time NetBeans user. I am also a big fan of maven 2 as a much better alternative to ant.

I suggest NetBeans users consider using maven-gwt-plugin + Netbeans maven plugin to use Netbeans with GWT.

Note there is a sticky thread where I have suggested this before.

Wow, thanks a lot I have tried to setup netbeans with smartgwt but I failed so I stayed with SmartClient, but with this tutorial I think I will be able to set this up.

Thanks again!!!!

just one question:
in the advanced section which jar file to you mean by this line: "Save the file and add it back into the jar file via 7-zip and save."

[javanewb]

The build-gwt.xml file you extracted from the jar file "org-netbeans-modules-gwt4nb.jar" would go back into the same jar file in the same location. That location being
\org\netbeans\modules\gwt4nb\resources

Hope this clarifies it for you.

I have now included the build-gwt.xml, so thanks for the hint, but when I copy an example from the showcase it is shown without the css applied to, does anyone know what I have to doto make it look nice?

edit:never mind, got the skin working now, don't know how I did it, but I did

[javanewb]

Chris, did you get everything to work? Seems you are the first to try the instructions, and I'm just curious if they are good enough. Hopefully, all went well.

[chrisboesing]

everything worked perfect, thanks a lot for putting this together.

just one thing, I would write "<inherits name="com.smartgwt.SmartGwt"/>" in description of step 2.b.i.1.a because it's hard to read from the picture.

Edit: Maybe you could add, that if you want to run the project in hosted mode you have to debug it (ctrl + F5)
