gwt> importing a sample project

Question

I'm just barely after 2 hours of trying to force it to work and looking for answers online.

How in the world do you import a sample gwt application into your eclipse and make it run?

by the way, I cannot find "projectCreator.cmd" anywhere in my files, where is it suppose to be assumming i've used eclipse plugin updater to d/l gwt 1.7.1?

Answer 1

Well, this is what I ended up doing though it ugly and probably not how it was meant to be:

I create a new application called it "bla" or whatever then right on project > import... > general\file system... (as in import files into projects)

then I selected the top folder of one of the sample applications, for example ..gwt..samples/Mail

selected all folders and files. selected option "override without warning\asking" de-selected option "copy entire folder structure"

that's about it. I went to build.XML to rename the project name to "bla" and then I clicked run as a web application.

good luck.
