[e4-dev] Announcing GDE 1.0.0 Beta Release - M20090313

["Dop Sun" <sunht@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm here happy to announce that the GDE Beta release finally reached. 
GDE is one step closer to its goal: enable you build GWT applications 
based on Plug-ins delivered by you or others. 

Getting Started guidelines and binaries can be found at GDE Google 
Code Project: 
http://code.google.com/p/ming-gde/wiki/GDEGettingStarted 

The refactored demo application can be found here:

http://ming-gwt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ming-gwt-test/war/default.html
(Don't know why, this link only works for IE, if you open with FireFox, it
shows the source codes, not executed pages.)

Till now, the following features have been fully implemented: 

  * GDE Build: support headless build outside the eclipse 
  * GWT 1.6.0 support: new Shell, new project structure, new compiler, 
and other new features delivered in GWT 1.6.0 
  * Minimum Target Platform Defined: currently, to start with the GDE 
development, only 3 plug-ins required: gwt-core-runtime and gwt-osgi, 
plus plug-in wrapped the gwt.user.jar. 
  * New Example Projects: modified GWT Mail project which demonstrates 
the plugin, extension point and extensions: the key features delivered 
by GDE. 

Please report bugs to gde issue tracker (http://code.google.com/p/ming- 
gde/issues/list). If you run into any issues, feel free to leave a 
messages in GDE project.
