Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/persistence/LockModeType

[Skalio]

Hi there,

I am doing my first steps in GWT and I am fascinated by the
possibilities.

So far I have set up a small project that relies on java classes
supplied in a external library. This library is made available to my
project via maven (own repository).
I want to use Java classes from that library on the client side - so I
had to supply the source code within the jar and had to make sure,
those classes do not use code that's not translateable to Javascript.

So far so good. I finally got past the errors that no source code
could be found.. Now a new error arises during runtime of the web
application:

I use Eclipse (Helios) and the Eclipse GWT-PLugin. The Web app is
hosted by the internal App Server. JDK is 1.6 on Mac OS X.
Any ideas on this?
