I followed the following instructions to start a brand new project in eclipse
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/usingeclipse.html
Why is debug mode so slow? The default new project has a textbox and a button created in GWT. But they take seconds to show up in debug mode. This is a brand new project why is it going so slow in gwt hosted mode?
Edit: To clarify the documentation clearly says that hosted mode does not convert the Java to javascript.
GWT uses a mix of JavaScript and Java (bytecode) in it’s Development mode.
