SpringSource Tool Suite and GWT without using ROO?

I w开发者_StackOverflow社区ould like to know if anyone has any experience in using STS to create a Spring-enabled GWT web application without using Spring ROO.

There are 2 scenarios that I have.

1. I have an existing GWT application (not Spring-enabled, built in Eclipse 3.7) that I want to convert to a Spring-enabled GWT application in STS. I want STS to pick up that this is now Spring-enabled so that I can use the built-in features of STS for Spring.

2. Create a new GWT web application that is Spring-enabled in STS, but without using Spring ROO.

I have as of yet found no tutorials on how to do either. All the examples that point to creating a Spring-enabled GWT web application in STS use ROO to scaffold it for them.

Sorry if it is a bit unclear what I mean. Feel free to comment and I will try to explain more.

Thanks!

One possibility is to start with a Roo project, enable GWT, and then perform a push-in refactoring. This will remove the Roo dependencies and what remains is a pure spring project that uses GWT.

gwt-spring-starter-app will help you create a maven project with spring & gwt integrated. You can then import it as a maven project into STS. That should get everything correctly setup.
