Question

Intellij doesn’t seem to have a one step way to build a war file from a GWT application. Or am I missing the option somewhere?

Answer 1

I would suggest to use maven for project description.

IntelliJ works very good with maven projects. You can use IntelliJ for development and maven for production-builds.

update

You can find the documentation here:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/

Steps, to get the stuff running:

• Install maven
• Create a pom.xml
• define you dependencies
• call mvn install and verify you war-file (it will be created in the sub-directory “target”
• call mvn idea:idea this will create a Intellj project
  OR
• Open Intellij, select “new project from external model -> from maven”
