Question

I am using Eclipse + GWT. Is there a way to create a side menu in Eclipse. I need to create a fixed side menu not the menu bar. Any help appreciated.

If you’re trying to make a fixed side panel for a web application using Google Web Toolkit, you can use their DockLayoutPanel class. To make a 200px sidebar on the left side of the screen, you would declare your *.ui.xml file as follows:

<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
    xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
    <g:DockLayoutPanel unit="PX">
        <g:west size="200">
            <g:Label>This is the side panel!</g:Label>
        </g:west>
        <g:center>
            <g:Label>This is the main panel.</g:Label>
        </g:center>
    </g:DockLayoutPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>
