GWT compile button in Eclipse

A simple question :

I am using Eclipse 3.7 Indigo and have updated the GWT (2.4) Eclipse plugin.

Now I can't find the GWT compile button in the main toolbar.

Previously there was this symbol in the main toolbar GWT Compile Button, but after the update, this button has disappeared and the compile action has been moved as a submenu entry into the "Google Services and Development Tools", represented in the main toolbar by this symbol enter image description here.

Is there a way to add the GWT compile button to the main toolbar or to specify a shortcut?

It's really exhausting to click on the "Google Services and Development Tools" to reach the compile submenu entry :-)

If you want to compile a GWT application, you should install the Google plugin. Here are the links.

In Eclipse Juno, GWT Compile option is located on the toolbar underneath the Google logo as seen here:

There is no key binding in Eclipse Juno for GWT Compile. That seems to be something the plugin could provide, but does not.

I don't know of a way to add the toolbar item back, but you can run the compiler via keyboard shortcut:

  • Debug Compile GWT Application, Alt+Shift+D, C
  • Run Compile GWT Application, Alt+Shift+X, C

You can also customize the keyboard shortcut if you wish, by going to Window->Preferences->Keys.

Highlight your project right-click on it go down in the dropdown menu to "Google" The submenu of "Google" will have the "GWT Compile" button

You can add a button for any command to the toolbar by go to Window -> Customize Perspective and exploring the dialog there. You may need to enable things using the Command and Menu visibility and then in the first tab you can add the buttons to the toolbar.
