The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a multilateral development finance institution
founded in 1966 to promote social and economic progress in its developing member
countries in Asia and the Pacific (see ADB’s website: http://www.adb.org/about/main).
2.2 ADB’s principal functions are
- lending funds,
- providing grants,
- providing technical assistance and advisory services,
- promoting investments for development purposes, and
- assisting in coordinating the development policies and plans of developing
member countries.
Inquiries
2.3 Loan disbursement is handled by the Loan Administration Division of the Controller’s
Department.
2.4 For loan service payments and billing matters, inquiries are addressed to the
Accounting Division of the Controller’s Department.
Loan or Grant Regulations
3.4 The regulations4
further set out conditions for the use of loan or grant proceeds
financed by ADB, or proceeds administered by ADB.
5
These documents are expressly
incorporated in the associated loan agreement, guarantee agreement, or grant
agreement. If any provision of a loan agreement, guarantee agreement, or grant
agreement is inconsistent with a provision of these regulations, the provision of the
loan agreement, guarantee agreement, or grant agreement governs.
Loan Documents
3.5 Loan documents
6
include the following documents and agreements:
ȕ Thereport and recommendation of the President to the Board of Directors
(RRP) presents the project proposal for consideration by the ADB Board.
ȕ Theproject administration manual (PAM)
7
includes all the information and
schedules describing project implementation and project readiness filters
covering major preproject implementation actions (e.g., government approvals,
procurement, and resettlement) to ensure a rapid start-up and enable early
disbursement. It is mandatory
8
that the PAM be referenced in the RRP and in
the loan (or facility) agreements, is presented as a stand-alone linked document
to the RRP, and serves as the main document describing implementation details.
The PAM is prepared in the course of loan processing and initially agreed with
the government at the loan fact-finding stage. At loan negotiations, the borrower
and ADB shall review and confirm the PAM agreed during loan fact-finding to
ensure consistency with the loan agreement, and such confirmation shall be
reflected in the minutes of the loan negotiations. The detailed cost estimate by
financier (one schedule included in the PAM) is prepared based on Section J6 of
the ADB Operations Manual (Appendix 3A).

System Requirement

9:37 AM    

This tutorial will guide you on how to prepare a development environment to start your work with GWT Framework. This tutorial will also teach you how to setup JDK, Tomcat and Eclipse on your machine before you setup GWT Framework:

System Requirement

GWT requires JDK 1.6 or higher so the very first requirement is to have JDK installed in your machine.
JDK1.6 or above.
Memoryno minimum requirement.
Disk Spaceno minimum requirement.
Operating Systemno minimum requirement.
Follow the given steps to setup your environment to start with GWT application development.

Step 1 - Verify Java installation on your machine

Now open console and execute the following java command.
OSTaskCommand
WindowsOpen Command Consolec:\> java -version
LinuxOpen Command Terminal$ java -version
MacOpen Terminalmachine:~ joseph$ java -version
Let's verify the output for all the operating systems:
OSGenerated Output
Windows
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)
Linux
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
ava HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)
Mac
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM)64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)

Step 2 - Setup Java Development Kit (JDK):

If you do not have Java installed then you can install the Java Software Development Kit (SDK) from Oracle's Java site: Java SE Downloads. You will find instructions for installing JDK in downloaded files, follow the given instructions to install and configure the setup. Finally set PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables to refer to the directory that contains java and javac, typically java_install_dir/bin and java_install_dir respectively.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the base directory location where Java is installed on your machine. For example
OSOutput
WindowsSet the environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
Linuxexport JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java-current
Macexport JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
Append Java compiler location to System Path.
OSOutput
WindowsAppend the string ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin to the end of the system variable, Path.
Linuxexport PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/
Macnot required
Alternatively, if you use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Borland JBuilder, Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or Sun ONE Studio, compile and run a simple program to confirm that the IDE knows where you installed Java, otherwise do proper setup as given document of the IDE.

Step 3 - Setup Eclipse IDE

All the examples in this tutorial have been written using Eclipse IDE. So I would suggest you should have latest version of Eclipse installed on your machine based on your operating system.
To install Eclipse IDE, download the latest Eclipse binaries fromhttp://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Once you downloaded the installation, unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location. For example in C:\eclipse on windows, or /usr/local/eclipse on Linux/Unix and finally set PATH variable appropriately.
Eclipse can be started by executing the following commands on windows machine, or you can simply double click on eclipse.exe
 %C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
Eclipse can be started by executing the following commands on Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.) machine:
$/usr/local/eclipse/eclipse
After a successful startup, if everything is fine then it should display following result:
Eclipse Home page

Step 4: Install GWT SDK & Plugin for Eclipse

Follow the instructions given at the link Plugin for Eclipse (incl. SDKs) to install GWT SDK & Plugin for Eclipse version installed on your machine.
After a successful setup for the GWT plugin, if everything is fine then it should display following screen with google icon marked with red rectangle:
Eclipse with Google

Step 5: Setup Apache Tomcat:

You can download the latest version of Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/. Once you downloaded the installation, unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location. For example in C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.33 on windows, or /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.33 on Linux/Unix and set CATALINA_HOME environment variable pointing to the installation locations.
Tomcat can be started by executing the following commands on windows machine, or you can simply double click on startup.bat
 %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat
 
 or
 
 C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.33\bin\startup.bat
Tomcat can be started by executing the following commands on Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.) machine:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
 
or
 
/usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.33/bin/startup.sh
After a successful startup, the default web applications included with Tomcat will be available by visiting http://localhost:8080/. If everything is fine then it should display following result:
Tomcat Home page
Further information about configuring and running Tomcat can be found in the documentation included here, as well as on the Tomcat web site: http://tomcat.apache.org
Tomcat can be stopped by executing the following commands on windows machine:
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\shutdown

or

C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.29\bin\shutdown
Tomcat can be stopped by executing the following commands on Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.) machine:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

or

/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.29/bin/shutdown.sh
