如何从命令行运行Google Web Toolkit应用程序？

Question

At the moment I'm running the demo StockWatcher in Eclipse. This uses the embedded servlet container which is fine for my purposes. The only change I would like to make is running from the command line instead of inside Eclipse. Does anyone know what command I use and what classpath this requires?

Edit - I have not used maven I have created the project purely using eclipse and gwt plugin

Answer 1

If you used the webAppCreator wizard (I see that you used the Eclipse plugin, but maybe both of them used the same code internally), you should have an ant script ( build.xml ) generated for you. With it you can run the GWT app via targets so:

• ant hosted - run hosted mode (or Development mode, I'm looking at a fairly old ant script)
• ant gwtc - compile to JS
• ant war , ant build , etc.

See what's in that file ( build.xml ) to get a better understanding of what is available and what you can do.

Update: see here for documentation on webAppCreator and available ant targets.

Answer 2

With the maven jetty plugin you can run your application with jetty from command line. (You first have to compile & create war with maven gwt plugin I think)

mvn jetty:run

maven gwt plugin

maven jetty plugin

Answer 3

Did you use Maven for this project? If that, then you can run it as mvn gwt:run from command line
