Is GWT Mosaic still supported? - java

I am trying to support legacy Java web system which was initially developed using GWT 2.4 and GWT Mosaic v0.4.0. I tried to upgrade GWT version and project successfully compiled with GWT 2.5.0 but when I tried to compile it with GWT 2.6.0 I got an error with GWT Mosaic library. The reason was that GWT somewhat changed their object model concerning Element. I looked for newer versions of GWT Mosaic but found that last version deployed on the project site was dated 2010. Is this correct understanding that this project is dead and there is no way to use it with recent GWT versions?

Project is dead.
But since it is open source you could always create a clone on GitHub and upgrade it to be 2.6.0 compatible. Some people would probably be grateful for that kind of action.

Is there any way to use GWT 2.9 with Java 11 using Eclipse GWT plugin?

We have a huge GWT project (GWT 2.7, JDK 1.7, Eclipse) everything works perfect. We are planning to upgrade to Java 11 and GWT 2.9 which has been recently released. However Java 1.7 is retiring and getting obsolete we have to move on and upgrade. Since last week we are trying to create a development environment like the existing one but there is no success. I was wondering whether anyone out there is struggling with the same issue, any hint, solution or hacking the eclipse plugin would be greatly appreciated.
Eclipse plugin comes with GWT (2.7 and 2.8.1)
Yes, you can.
download gwt-2.9.0.zip from gwtproject.org
unzip it
start Eclipse
open the preference panel
choose GWT -> GWT Settings
add gwt 2.9.0 by pressing the add button on the right

STS Grails compatibility

I'm not able to find the grails perspective in my latest release download of spring tool suite 3.8.2
I've created GRAILS_HOME varialble as C:\grails-2.4.4
path variable as %GRAILS_HOME%\bin
and similarly JAVA_HOME and its path variable.
Still not able to find the Grails perspective in STS.
The Grails support is no longer available for the Spring Tool Suite, at least not the Grails support that we worked on in the past. There was an announcement from Pivotal about the general topic a while ago: https://blog.pivotal.io/pivotal/news/groovy-2-4-and-grails-3-0-to-be-last-major-releases-under-pivotal-sponsorship. This also included to not working on the tooling for Eclipse anymore.
If you want to, you can download the final version of the Groovy-Grails-Tool-Suite from here: https://spring.io/tools/ggts/all. It is version 3.6.4, based on Eclipse 4.4.2.
The marketplace entry that is mentioned in another comment refers to this version of the Groovy-Grails support - and should not be installed on Eclipse versions higher than 4.4.2.
We also do not officially support and work on the Groovy support for Eclipse anymore, but there is still a version available that works with the latest versions of Eclipse.
If you are (or someone else is) interested in taking over those tooling projects, feel free to reach out to us. We would be more than happy to provide some support in taking over those projects.
Looks like this has been dropped some time ago:

Java EE perspective in Eclipse version 2.1.1

Does Eclipse 2.1.1 supports Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) perspective? I didn't find this perspective when I downloaded eclipse 2.1.1 from eclipse archives website. I've to use this very old version of eclipse because I'm working on a legacy application and it uses some very old eclipse plugins that are only supported in older versions released before the year 2003. Any support regarding this would be highly appreciated.
No. WTP's original code contribution to Eclipse took place in 2004. Prior to that, its contents lived in other commercial products and Open Source projects, and the perspective definition itself and a lot of the associated Java EE support was in an IBM commercial product.
I can't say for sure because this is so old, but I would think it very unlikely.
Eclipse 2 had a different way of describing plugin dependencies which newer plugins don't use, so anything that is not built for Eclipse 2 won't work.

Switch case on Strings is not compatible with Smart-GWT

We are using smart-gwt for our application along with Java. The switch case on strings have been introduced in Java 1.7, and used to
work in GWT 2.5.
I have upgraded my GWT version to 2.7 and Java to 1.7 but the switch case on strings is not working.
With GWT 2.5, it was showing compile errors in Eclipse but after GWT upgrade, it is not showing any such errors but it is getting runtime exceptions.
I think it is a problem with Smart GWT version, we are using smart-gwt 4.1.
Could any body tell me is my assumption is correct?
SmartClient and Smart GWT packages only require a JDK (version 1.5 or later).
From SmartGWT download page
Works fine on my projects.
GWT 2.7 unexpectedly dropped support for <script> tags in .gwt.xml files (a longstanding feature used by many projects).
We had to re-implement this feature within SmartGWT in order to be compatible with GWT 2.7. This was done about a week ago, so you just need to download a more recent patched build of 4.1:

GWT Designer Eclipse

I want to use GWT Designer to create UI for web page, i installed SDK and GWT Designer and UIBinder, WindowBuilder. I use eclipse Kepler. It was istalled succesfully, but i can't open a class in Design mode. Get `Internal Error
encountered unexpected internal error.
This could be caused by a bug or by a misconfiguration issue, conflict, partial update, etc.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.gwt.dev.cfg.ModuleDefLoader.loadFromClassPath(Lcom/google/gwt/core/ext/TreeLogger;Ljava/lang/String;Z)Lcom/google/gwt/dev/cfg/ModuleDef;
is it working version available now, or it can't be used?
This is a bug from 2.6.0 version.
The 2.6.1 fixed its.
The 2.6.1 is
http://www.gwtproject.org/versions.html
Easy:
For Keppler and Maybe Luna
1) Download the SDK 2.61 from official website
2) Unzip
3) replace '<'Eclipse_Path'>'\plugins\com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle_2.6.0
* NO change nane folder
Or
Configure as external SDK
Enjoy
Greetings from Nicaragua
Restarting Eclipse solves the problem for Kepler and GWT 2.4
