Hello
I am a newcomer in more ways than one. I first of all want to know how the
finer points of how to configure my newsreader to this newsgroup. It seems
that the details given in the email weren't good enough. I can't log on.
I am on a Windows XP platform, and I am running Ganymede and Sun Java 2 EE
1.6. First off, I had installed Sun Java before Eclipse. How do I know
that Eclipse knows about the correct Sun Java installation? All I did was
dump the contents of a zip file into a directory and it seems to run. That
seems too easy.
I want to make sure that it is pointing to the interpreter/compiler I
installed (compile time and runtime). Where do I go to configure it? For
the record, I use Forte Agent 4.2.
Anyone know anything about using GWT in Eclipse? GWT claims to be a
compiler, but I don't see any executables in its distribution. Looks like
just a bunch of libraries. Any way to get it to work in Eclipse?
Thanks
Phrank

Apologies for any confusion:
After hastily editing back and forth, it seems that a sentence saying "For
the record, I use Forte Agent 4.2" should have been placed at the end of the
first paragraph. That is the name of the newsreader I am using. I would
rather not use Outlook Express, but here I am using it anyway, since it
seemed to download newsgroup names with little effort.

Did you register an id/pw at
http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/register.php? I use Thunderbird, not
Forte Agent, but the process should be similar. Set up an account in
the client, point it at news.eclipse.org port 119 (should be the
default), NNTP protocol (again, should be the default), and tell it to
request authentication when logging in (probably not the default). Do
not use SSL or any other form of encryption.

This is one of the (few?) things that is easier in Windows than in
Linux. On Windows, unzip and run usually works. On Linux, the default
Java compiler tends to be gcj, with which Eclipse will not work, so you
have to exert a little more effort to get it to run the Sun compiler and VM.

In Eclipse, click Help > About Eclipse Platform > Configuration Details
and start scrolling. The -vm argument will tell you where Eclipse is
finding a virtual machine, and the java.whatever stuff further down
(particularly java.vendor) should nail down the details. If you want to
be absolutely certain about the VM, you can edit eclipse.ini (in the
Eclipse root directory) and add a -vm argument. See, for instance,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F#Specifyi ng_the_JVM_in_Eclipse_3.2
(works in subsequent versions as well).
You might also look at Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs,
where you can specify multiple JREs and pick one to be default. I
suspect this is useful mainly if you have to develop apps that run on
older versions.

Sorry, no clue here.

Even on Windows, doing the "unzip and run" is usually not the best
option, because it will almost always find and use a JRE rather than a
JDK. JDK usually includes sources, which makes development and debugging
easier. I always recommend to use eclipse.ini (see below) to be explicit
about what JVM you want Eclipse to run in.

Make sure to read http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini (which is linked
to from that other wiki page).
Hope this helps,
Eric

Instantiations has an pretty good commercial tool for GWT integration,
GWT Designer (http://www.instantiations.com/windowbuilder/gwtdesigner/).
It is commercial, but reasonably priced and they have a free trial
offer. Also, if you prove that you are a committer on an open-source
project, they will give you a free license, I think.
Hope this helps,
Eric
