Issue while upgrading from GWT 1.4 to GWT 1.5 RC1

[ajain]

I have created a demo application using gwt-1.4.62 using the
applicationCreator utility. It works fine and now when I am trying to
upgrade it to gwt-1.5 RC1 by replacing the gwt-user.jar also updated
the classpath, I am getting the following exception:

Loading module 'com.mycompany.TestGWT'
Loading inherited module 'com.google.gwt.user.User'
Loading inherited module 'com.google.gwt.core.Core'
[ERROR] Line 23: Unexpected element 'define-linker'

[ERROR] Line 21: Unexpected exception while processing element
'inherits'


Am I missing anything else? Even if create a new project with the gwt
1.5 I am getting the same error.

Appreciate your help.

You need to update all the JARs, not just -user. The compiler uses
stuff in -dev, so make sure the compiler's classpath is updated, too.

I did downloaded the latest gwt-windows-1.5.0.zip and created a new
application using the applicationCreator utility.
Even the default program generated by the tool is giving the same
exception

[ERROR] Line 23: Unexpected element 'define-linker'

Any pointers?

[andronix]

I was having the same problem.
Ussually, it happens when gwt-dev-windows.jar, gwt-servlet.jar or gwt-
user.jar are from different versions of gwt.
So, check carefully versions of those files...
