I apologize if I have posted twice this message but I am not able to retrieve my first message.
We have discovered that the URL https://www.gwtproject.org/doctype/2.12.2/gwt-module.dtd is currently returning a 404 error. 
It implies strange build behavior on our side (it works well if we replace 2.12.2 by 2.12.1 for referring the DTD).
Maybe some deployment job which has failed ?
Thanks again for your work and to continue to maintain this project.
Regards,

Colin Alworth

Thanks, a PR did merge for this, but there seems to be a race condition in our deployment of the website - github will call a webhook when the build finishes _before_ the artifact that was just produced and uploaded can actually be downloaded and deployed...

You can work around it by downloading the GWT SDK and referencing it locally.  Eg: For Windows you could do:

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC "-//Google Inc.//DTD Google Web Toolkit 2.12.2//EN" "file:///C:/blah/gwt-2.12.2/gwt-module.dtd">

Or just use 2.21.1 for now (I had forgotten to update mine, and hadn't noticed).

…or just don't use any DOCTYPE as it's almost useless (I mean, it can bring code completion and validation in editors, but the schema is simple enough that reading the doc should be enough)
But yes, if it's useful to you, just use any previous version as the schema hasn't changed for years (and if it did, it would likely only be in a non-patch version)
