GWT and Metawidget Part 4: Over to you

A recent Metawidget bug report has highlighted I need better documentation around how to build your own GWT app. I will be putting this in the next release, but for now please note:
  • when building your app, you need both metawidget.jar and metawidget-gwt-client.jar in your compiler CLASSPATH
  • when deploying your app, you need metawidget.jar in your WEB-INF/lib and a reference to GwtRemoteInspectorImpl in your web.xml
  • you can see this in action in addressbook-gwt.war in the binary distribution
  • you may also find the example-gwt-addressbook Ant task in the source distribution's build.xml useful

Thanks to the anonymous bug reporter for highlighting this lack of documentation!
