Ive installed the Google Plugin for Eclipse and created a demo project using App Engine and GWT. Now I want to launch and see it. But after compile nothing else happens. Shouldn't there be an integrated browser that shows the app?

As far as I know, you just point your browser (any browser) to http://localhost:8080. Is that not working for you?

No. I don't have tomcat or anything else. I know there is a build-in solution in eclipse, have seen it once in a while. Any idea?
Thanks

The Google Plug-in comes with an embedded Jetty server. I may have gotten the port number wrong, perhaps it's 8888. I can't really verify until I get to work.

I figured out there is a run config where you can check "use free port automatically", which was in my case 49203
Thanks

You need to right click on the project name and hit run > web application. Compiling it is for deployment, and most likely not what your looking for from running. The key differences here are hosted mode handles the cross-compilation for you, while compiling is meant for deployment of the javascript to your web server.

Woot! My first best answer, and with an awesome technology! Thanks!

I get it running externally on the command line with dev_appserver . or to upload to the google site appcfg update .
for python they're .py files and for java their .cmd calls wish I could mix and match my languages/GAE environments
