Dmitri is still struggling with Google’s web toolkit—in particular, with trying to debug code that’s throwing an exception for unknown reasons. Maybe we could pass a new law—nobody’s allowed to release a library, framework, language, or other [name goes here] without including debugger support… *sigh*
Uhhh….there is debugger support. Use the projectCreator tool (to create a usable .launch file) followed by the applicationCreator tool with
the -eclipse flag to complete the project for Eclipse. This way when you import into Eclipse all the classpaths and launch configurations
are set up for you and you just RUN or DEBUG and everything should be fine.
Maybe we could pass a new law — nobody’s allowed to complain about software failings without RTFMing first.
I think Greg misunderstood my problem a bit. Me not being able to debug the application is not really what’s stopping me. I am already testing it in Hosted mode. The problem is that the server I’m calling throws me back an exception, and I don’t know why. Being able to debug client-side code doesn’t really help me with that.
Although when I did try “debug” instead of “run” with Eclipse, instead of getting an exception thrown, I get an error about “source not being found”:

This may be something worth looking into for me.
