I see that the GWT Development Mode plugin is available for Internet Explorer 8, but the browser crashes when I start it. The stack trace says there's an error in oophm.dll. I'm running it on a VirtualBox instance with Windows 7. Are there any special steps for setting up dev mode in IE8?

Dev mode doesn’t seem to play well with Windows 7. Try downloading a windows XP vm from: http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools
You’ll also need to manually install the dev mode for IE 8 plug in from the following location because the built-in link for IE 8 is broken: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.5.0/plugins/ie/prebuilt/
Consider trying superdevmode?

Disclaimer: I don't know if it works on IE 8 -- but I think it was designed to work on any modern broser. One main reason for creating it was to get rid of the need of maintaining various browser plugins...
