Is it possible to debug GWT?
Is this just me, or is it even possible to run / debug a GWT application?
New install of google plugin for Eclipse (Juno), create new web app with GWT + GAE, run / debug. FAILURE.
It's on Mac, with Chrome, Firefox and Safari. The browser plugin is incompatible with Safari and Firefox, says that it is compatible with Chrome, but always asks to reinstall it.
Any ideas / tips?

Update : Ok, so I went back to Firefox ESR 24 ( https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ ) and it worked. This will hold me back until GWT 2.7 is released.

Browsers (all except IE) have removed the functionality required for the GWT Dev plugin. The way forward is "Super Dev Mode" which does not require a browser plugin but also no longer uses the Java debugger (the code is compiled to JavaScript "as fast as possible" and is debugged using Source Maps in the browser dev tools).
SuperDevMode is unfortunately not easy to start with: fooobar.com/questions/187839 / ...
Speaking of which, GWT 2.7 will be released soon and DevMode behavior will change to actually use SuperDevMode (and you can revert to "classic" DevMode by going through -nosuperDevMode
); so everything will be "magic" to start working again just by updating your GWT SDK.
Note. SuperDevMode also has a huge advantage over "classic" DevMode, which works in any browser, even mobile browsers!
