GWT Development Mode (Using the DevMode Launcher)

Using GWT Development Mode will launch the CodeServer and a embedded Jetty web server by default. There will start two servers, the first being the Jetty web server and the CodeServer which will listen for compile requests from the browser.

• DevMode will run the Super DevMode CodeServer by default in GWT 2.7.0+.
• Mobile debugging uses the web server on the device.
