Generally you'll get something like that if you forgot to close an XML
element. Probably one of your .gwt.xml files?

Hi Again,
My menu.gwt.xml file is:
<module>
<inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.User"/>
<entry-point class="com.mycompany.client.menu"/>
<servlet path="/Serv" class="com.mycompany.project.server.ServImpl"/>
<inherits name="com.google.gwt.i18n.I18N"/>
<extend-property name="locale" values="fr,iw,iw"/>
</module>

and it still not working - I get the same exception:
[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog.

Please tell me what wrong or what else can be wrong
Thanks,
Idan

Are you sure there are no characters before the "<" in your
"<module>" start tag?
The prolog section of the XML is everything before that and it's
saying it's finding invalid content there.

I have nothing before <module> or after the </module>
The tag <module> if the first charicter in this page
Do you have another Idea?
Could it be because my Java classes? (on java to JavaScript
compilation or something like that?)

Hello!!!
Strange thing with Notepad & with Edit-Plus editors it looks like the
<module> was the firt thing in the file
BUT!
with XML Editor I dowlnoaded I found: "ן»¿<module>" so now I removed
by this editor the "ן»¿" and it works!

Thanks!!!
Idan
