This reference is for people that would like to develop on GWT-OpenLayers itself. People that would just like to use GWT-OpenLayers in their projects should check out the user reference.
GWT-OpenLayers uses Github for version control.
The easiest way to start developing on GWT-OpenLayers is by cloning the public github repository:
https://github.com/geosdi/GWT-OpenLayers
Maven is used to build GWT-OpenLayers. Maven has good GWT support with the Maven GWT plugin. To build GWT-OpenLayers using Maven, open the commandline at gwt-openlayers-client and run:
>mvn package
This produces a GWT module jar that you can use in GWT applications. The server side part (currently consisting of an Ajax Proxy for by-passing the same origin policy) is packaged in the same way.
Here we will explain different ways to develop on different OS's
Some cookbook examples on how to extend GWT-OpenLayers
Currently, more information about developing GWT-OpenLayers is still found in our Trac wiki.
