To develop nice Web GUIs with [[http://www.sencha.com/|Ext-GWT]] (abbreviated GXT) using the [[http://eclipse.org/|Eclipse IDE]], do the following:

* Download and install the [[http://eclipse.org/|Eclipse IDE]]
* Download [[http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/|Google Web Toolkit]] and extract the contents to your hard drive
* Download [[http://www.sencha.com/products/gwt/|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]].
