I am attempting to setup GWT's super dev mode but am running into an issue. Here is where I am at:

  • GWT 2.5.0

  • Tomcat server deployed on a Virtual Machine say. To run my application, I navigate to: http://myVirtualMachine/myApplication.

  • Code server on local dev machine. Running on http://localhost:12345. Bookmarked the Dev Mode On and Dev Mode Off bookmarklets

  • I have added the following to the <module> section of my myModule.gwt.xml file:

    <add-linker name="xsiframe"/>
<set-configuration-property name="devModeRedirectEnabled" value="true"/>
<set-property name="compiler.useSourceMaps" value="true"/>
<set-configuration-property name="devModeUrlWhitelistRegexp" value="http://.*" />

  • Recomile webapp and deploy to myVirtualMachine

  • Restart code server

  • Go to http://myVirtualMachine/myApplication, click Dev Mode On bookmarklet.

I am expecting to get a popup that looks like this: 

Choose a module to recompile: 
                  ---------
1. someName      |compile|
                  ---------

I am getting this instead: 

Choose a module to recompile: 

1. someName

The compile button is missing. Any insight would be appreciated.

    GWT 2.7.0 has a lot of improvements using Super Dev Mode. With the current GWT Eclipse Plugin it is quite easy to start Super Dev Mode. Why are you using the old version? – El Hoss Jan 08 '15 at 07:28

The reason should be set as a "title" on the module name: hover over it to have it displayed.
