Execute GWT as part of larger build process?

[Neil Aggarwal]

I am trying to set up GWT into an existing Maven project.

 

Looking at the documentation for the Maven Plugin for GWT:

https://tbroyer.github.io/gwt-maven-plugin/usage.html

In Step 2, it says to set my packaging to gwt-lib or gwt-app.

 

I already have a packaging goal to create a war file for my
project.

 

I think I want to have GWT generate javascript files into
a subfolder of the project’s html directory.  I want that
to be a part of the overall build process.  How do I do that?

 

I am attaching a copy of my current pom.xml file in case you need
to see it.

 

Thank you,

   Neil

I see you are using spring-boot-starter-web, so I'd recommend generating a sample gwt-app from https://github.com/NaluKit/gwt-maven-springboot-archetype  and seeing how it fits together, and if that architecture works for you.

However, maybe you want GWT to just create a library (gwt-lib) that then gets used by your existing app.  It's up to you.  🙂
