Installing

Prerequisites

To use Parallax you need GWT SDK 2.4.

It is better to download latest Eclipse IDE and install GWT Plugin for Eclipse.

Google Web Toolkit is well documented. If you don't familiar with GWT please read documentation. All documentation hereinafter will be based on Eclipse IDE.

Download and install Parallax library

Download the latest version of Parallax library.

In Eclipse IDE Create new GWT Application as described here.

Then go to Build Path -> Configure Build Path.... At the Libraries tab click on Add External JARs and find downloaded Parallax library package.

GWT configuration file

You should import into your GWT application project as minimum one Parallax package.

<inherits name="thothbot.parallax.core.Core"/>

Logging

Parallax uses GWT logging.

To enable it in your project you should make the following changes in your GWT configuration file:

  <!--   Logging -->
  <inherits name="com.google.gwt.logging.Logging"/>
  <set-property name="gwt.logging.enabled" value="TRUE"/> 
  <set-property name="gwt.logging.logLevel" value="ALL"/>

  <set-property name="gwt.logging.consoleHandler" value="DISABLED" />
  <set-property name="gwt.logging.popupHandler" value="DISABLED" />

This configuration disables client logging, but you can see logs in the Eclipse console in dev mode.
