To develop with Eclipse. Before importing the project, you need to define some variables. - In Eclipse Preferences, go to General->Workspace->Linked Resources. - Click New and add the 2 following variables: - GWT_HOME that point to the directory containing gwt-user.jar - GWT_JAR that point to the gwt-dev-XXX.jar file directly. (XXX will be linux, mac, etc) - then you can import the project by File->Import...->Existing project into workspace.
