no gwt or static content included in app

[Régis Millet]

Hello.
now that I managed to make the project build, I see that there is no static files generated and my application does not work because no js file
no static data (css, images..) are there
no file with gwt.rpc extension either

when using mojo, static files were generated and put in a projectName-version-statics.zip files

You don't GWT-compile your application, you need to call the "compile" goal here.

Also, it's weird and useless to have the codeserver goal here (weird because you wouldn't want to call it during a "standard" build, you want to explicitly invoke it from the command line, and useless because it doesn't bind to any lifecycle phase by default, so it won't be executed anyway without some more configuration)

[Régis Millet]

OK, my understanding of the goals was wrong.

but now that I only put compile, I get - gwt-maven-plugin:1.2.0:compile (default) @ module ---
[INFO] Loading inherited module 'fr.company.module.Module'

when i tried a lot of things , i "lost" my gwt-user dependency.

Still no js found.

they are generated but not exploded.

[Régis Millet]

finally found by lurking in the group questions.

in my Main html page, Module.html, had to add 

<meta name="gwt:property" content="baseUrl=Module/" />

for the 

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src=" Module/Module.nocache.js"></script> to work.

when I removed the folder in script tag, the nocache was not found and the meta is needed for other files listed in " Module.nocache.js" where the base folder was not there.
