This page describes how to create a new mavenized gwt-application which uses gQuery, from scratch, and using the gquery-archetype.

Steps

• Install maven and put the mvn command in your path
• Run the following commands in a terminal
• This command generates a project ready to work with gwt-2.4.0, if you wanted an old version edit the file pom.xml and set the version and classifier.

mvn archetype:generate  -DarchetypeGroupId=com.googlecode.gwtquery \
                        -DarchetypeArtifactId=gquery-archetype  \
                        -DarchetypeVersion=1.1.3 \
                        -DgroupId=com.mycompany \
                        -DartifactId=myproject \
                        -DprojectName=MyProject 

• Change to the new created folder and check that the project compiles

  cd myproject/
  mvn clean package

• Run the project in develop mode

  mvn gwt:run

Importing the project in Eclipse

The archetype generates a project ready to use in eclipse, but before importing it you have to install the following plugins:

• Google plugin for eclipse (update-site: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6 http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7)
• Sonatype Maven plugin (update-site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/site/m2e)

Then you can import the project in your eclipse using either:

• File -> Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace
• File -> Import -> Existing maven projects

After this you should be able to run the project in development mode and the gwt test unit.

• Right click on the project -> Run as -> Web Application
• Right click on the test class -> Run as -> GWT JUnit Test
