Hi,

I need to maintain a legacy application that is written with GWT 1.7.1. What is the latest GWT Designer that still supports GWT 1.7.1? Where can I download it?

Thanks in advance,

Calin

Here are some old links for Eclipse 3.5, 3.6, 3.7. Not sure about their support for which version of GWT though:

https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/tools/download-gwtdesigner

Oh here's one for Eclipse 3.4:

Thanks Michael,

I already tried those. They are new GWT Designers for old Eclipse. I need the old GWT designer.

It's disappointing that Google dropped support for the old GWT and doesn't even make available an old version of the software, or an easy way to find it.

Bummer. Looks like the WindowBuilderPro links to the same thing too

http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.5

Seem to all be 2012 versions, post-open sourcing and during period of donation to Eclipse.

I'm not sure if any of the previous versions were open source.

Looks like GWT has a good list of old releases available here: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/versions

But I don't see anything about GWT Designer which I don't think is part of the SDK.

So I wouldn't say that Google dropped support for the old versions of GWT. But you do have a case for saying that support for old versions of GWT Designer has been lacking or apparently does not exist.

No one at your company has a copy of an Eclipse install with the tools configured for that product?

Lots of things have changed and been deprecated (for multiple releases/years) since GWT 1.7.1. That sounds like quite a project you have ahead of you. Good luck!
