GWT Super dev mode and debugging client side code within IDEA
Hi,
im working on a GWT project and migrated to GWT 2.8.2 where only "super dev mode" is available
I run my app using a tomcat configuration. (port 8080)
Then I started a GWT run configuration with super dev mode enabled. (-noserver -war ...)
When opening my app (localhost:8080) I can enable dev mode and I can see the codeserver compiling my project)
All looks fine.
I can now debug client side code within the browsers development tool. All files are linked using sourceMaps.
My question is:
Can I also use IDEA to debug my client side code somehow ?
Setting a breakpoint there does not have the desired effect.
Maybe Im missing a configuration ?
Would be very nice to use IDEA for client code debugging too.
Thanks,
Detlef

Tomcat Run/Debug configuration has the with JavaScript debugger option which can be used for the client side JS code debug. Is that what you are looking for?
Thanks for the hint.
It works. When testing it, my browser crashed twice. Lets see if this is feature is of use for me.
