Its not yet officially available, but can be downloaded directly from the codebase:
google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ prebuilt folder in here  is the gwt-dev-plugin.xpi, and it works like a charm :)

Previously i wrote when the plugin was updated to work with Firefox 7 and 8.

More info in the group discussion: “GWT Developer Plugin for Firefox 9”

What timing, as Mozilla is likely to release Firefox 10 this coming Tuesday. For the sake of web developers that use GWT, i hope the plugin updates can come sooner in the future.

UPDATE 2012-02-02: This thread in the google group follows plugin development for Firefox 10.

So i ended up with some short search/replace, which are really handy in IntelliJ.

Replace “assertTrue” and “assertFalse” with “assertThat”

Search template

assertTrue($msg$, $actual$);

Replacement template:

org.junit.Assert.assertThat.assertThat($msg$, $actual$, org.hamcrest.core.Is.is(true));

Remove “assertEquals” with delta values

Search template

assertEquals($msg$, $expected$, $actual$, $delta$);

Replacement template:

org.junit.Assert.assertThat($msg$, $actual$, org.hamcrest.core.Is.is($expected$));

Optional Replace “assertEquals” with “assertThat”

Search template

assertEquals($msg$, $expected$, $actual$);

Replacement template:

org.junit.Assert.assertThat.assertThat($msg$, $actual$, org.hamcrest.core.Is.is($expected$));

Since Firefox 7 was released, i have defered upgrading for one simple reason: At work I am dependent on GWT Developer plugin.

Today I found the ready-to-release plugin which actually works with Firefox 7:

http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/ in here  is the gwt-dev-plugin.xpi, and it works like a charm :)

(In firefox, it asks you to download. And then you can drag the downloaded .xpi back into the browser to install. Why Firefox will not instantly recognize the .xpi file is kind of strange)

The tests were of two formats: 10 questions in 15 minutes, and 30 questions in 40 minutes (multiple choice questions).

For the tests I took, these were some links with background material which I found most helpful:

• IBM Developerworks: Understanding RUP roles
• Wikipedia Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)
• Wikipedia RUP (Rational Unified Process)
• Wikipedia Software configuration management
• Wikipedia Enterprise architecture
• Unified Process for EDUcation: A Software Architecture Document example
• and finally a blog post about test specification techniques

As you may notice, the topics mostly covered were RUP, IAF (a capgemini architecture framework), A little CMMI, and hardly any agile methodologies at all. No SCRUM, Lean, Kanban or similar references. Although i think i saw one question on XP (eXtreme Programming).

Now the tests are passed, the application is submitted. I will have a verdict probably within a month.

It is a very convenient feature, which highlights all occurrences of the word you place the cursor in.

To turn it on, just go to “File>Settings” window.

Check “Highlight usages of element at caret” under “IDE Settings > Editor”

Frankly, I do not understand why this is not default turned on in IntelliJ.

1. Locate the file
   idea.properties

   in your IntelliJ Idea\bin folder

2. Edit
   idea.config.path
3. Restart

I changed it from

to

It is very easy to do, but it was hard for me to google the result.

But despite the high bounty of 200 geek points, i doubt that anybody notices it: The question is buried back at fourth page, near the bottom of 193 other bounty questions.

Of course, in case you know somebody who can help with an answer, the question is here: How to use Hudson “Parameterized Build” values in an email

Snippet 1: Live template to bootstrap a class to use UI binder logic. Very useful when converting existing (pre gwt 2.0) Java classes to UI binder pattern, which gives better separation of logic and view.

Snippet 2: Create new UiBinder.ui.xml file. Intellij has support for creating entire new java class + uibinder file. That is useful for new classes, but most often I find myself converting an existing class, and needed this shortcut for that.

Here is the explanation of the detailed mouseover view when zooming in on each request:

• The second request started 109ms after the start of the first request (since the beginning of the waterfall graph).
• There are two numbers for each request phase (5 phases). The first number on the left says when the phase started within the request. The second number on the right (closer to the phase label) says the time needed to complete each phase. In this case, the first three phases took zero time, and so the Waiting phase was the first real and it needed 32ms to complete. The Receiving phase started in 32nd ms of the request and needed 15ms to complete
• DOMContenLoaded event was fired 7ms after this request started. If this number is negative the event was fired before the request is started.
• load event was fired 189ms after this request started. If this number is negative the event was fired before the request is started.

Here are some notes about each request phase.

• DNS Lookup: DNS resolution time
• Connecting: Elapsed time required to create a TCP connection.
• Blocking (not on the screenshot): Elapsed time spent in a browser queue waiting for a network connection. Displayed only in the case where this situation happens (see also this post).
• Sending: Time needed to send request data to the server.
• Waiting: Waiting for the response (till the first byte is received from the server).
• Receiving: Time necessary to download response body.

I found myself reading up on this because I did a HTML5 offline experiment, where the “HTML5 .manifest files did not appear in Firebug net panel”

Jan Odvarko has two excellent posts explaining most functionality of the Firebug Net panel. The two posts are highly recommendable

• Firebug Net Panel Timings (March 2010)
• Introduction to Firebug: Net Panel (May 2009)

In this case, I searched for “earth h….” and it suggests “earth hour 2010″ But on top of that, it inserts a link to the most relevant website directly. Smart and time-saving, i suppose.

Also, it does not clutter the suggestion box completely. Adding link to all suggestions would clutter the box, I think.

Also, I saw that google now shows real-time updates of news results inside the search result page:

Notice that scrollbar in the bottom of the screenshot: The result page keeps updating.
