Google Web toolkit integration in IntelliJ IDEA 6
To me, Intellij IDEA is the best Java IDE ever. I must say that the web 2.0 stuff are a bit a mistery to me. I am really interessted by all the new technologies related to this concept (namely Ajax).
I found an excellent tutorial from Jetbrains showing how the next Intellij IDEA version will integrate with the google web toolkit. The tutorial explains how to create a very simple Image Viewer application. Honestly, I don’t like the “look how I can do zillions of things with one click and it updates also the-deployment descriptor” but it’s a good start and it certainly increased my curiosity about this technology and the GWT. Thanks to nraynaud for the link Link fixed, sorry!

Link to the tutorial is broken ;D
Hmmm, I have to test this framework …
Yes, unfortunalety the link to tutorial don’t work…
Intellij IDEA is very interesting, I didn’t ever know that such well featured javascript editor existed ! A must try !
“Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript’s lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile.” (on Google’s GWT wecome page)
The google web toolkit is probably the best choose for someone who never touched javascript. But if you’re not scared by a little bit of js, one of the new best of breed JS framework can really struggle all the drawbacks listed Google himself (and avoids performance issues linked to Java -> JS conversion).
