GWT Ant Tasks

There are two big choices to develop with GWT: the Eclipse Plugin and the Maven Plugin. The third choice is Ant. Some time ago I came across the GWT Task for Ant written by Joakim Recht and I started using it immediately with NetBeans.

Then I needed to add some other tasks to build MeshCMS. I'm not going to create a full project to publish those tasks, but I will keep this page up to date to allow everyone to download them, just like Joakim does.

So, grab the ZIP (it's a NetBeans project) and the current MeshCMS build file, to be used as an example.

I'm putting those files in the public domain, but of course this does not apply to Joakim's work (which is included anyway).

Features

Joakim has created a tool to generate RPC service interfaces (so you only have to create the concrete class); the service factory is created too. I've added two tasks to create a client bundle from a directory of images and to create an I18N interface from a resource bundle.

With those plugins you must hope that they keep up with the GWT development, just like the Maven GWT Plugin at Codehaus that does not support GWT 2.0 yet.
