To develop nice Web GUIs with Ext-GWT (abbreviated GXT) using the Eclipse IDE, do the following:

  • Download and install the Eclipse IDE
  • Download Google Web Toolkit and extract the contents to your hard drive
  • Download Ext-GWT and extract the contents to your hard drive

The versions I used when writing this are:

  • Eclipse 3.5 ("Galileo")
  • GWT 2.0.3
  • GXT 2.1.1

Now, let's add User Libraries for your convenience:

  • Start Eclipse
  • Open the preferences dialog (Menu: Window -> Preferences)
  • In the tree on the left navigate to item Java -> Build Path -> User Libraries
  • Add a user library for GWT
    • Click button "New..."
    • Name the new user library "GWT_2_0_3"
    • Select "GWT_2_0_3" from the list and click button "Add JARs..."
    • Navigate to the place where you extracted the GWT zip file and select the files gwt-user.jar and gwt-dev.jar.
    • Click button "Open"
  • Add a user library for GXT
    • Click button "New..."
    • Name the new user library "GXT_2_1_1"
    • Select "GXT_2_1_1" from the list and click button "Add JARs..."
    • Navigate to the place where you extracted the GXT zip file and select the file gxt.jar
  • Click button "Open"

There you go. That's all there is to set up Eclipse for GWT and GXT. Now have a look at Setting up a GXT project in Eclipse.
