There are currently some issues with Google Chrome and the GWT DevMode plugin - and the GWT team is working on it. It's not easy to always catch up with the latest releases of all browsers. And I wouldn't want them spending all their resources on doing that.

As a GWT app developer, I know it's painful when the plugin stops working, because browser releases are frequent, and updates occur automatically nowadays.

However, I would recommend GWT app developers to switch the strategy a bit: Ask yourself, if you really need to test with the very latest version of a browser in dev mode, as you can

  • test with the very latest version of a browser in production mode (or maybe super dev mode)
  • develop using a slightly older version of a browser in dev mode.

It's easy to install e.g. a slightly outdated Chromium build, side by side to Chrome. This doesn't mean that plugin issues shouldn't be fixed quickly, but it gives the GWT team at least a few weeks after a browser release - without real drawbacks for GWT app developers.

Maybe this should be the official recommendation for working with DevMode, i.e. instead of failing to install, the plugin should offer a description how to get it installed in another version of the browser (it already does that for Safari/Mac!)

Your last issue is http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5778

On the http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=7569 side, the plugin has yet to be recompiled for Windows, but should otherwise be fixed and deployable to the Chrome Web Store.
