GWT module needs to be (re)compiled

[strindberg]

I'm having some problems getting Gwt 1.6.4 to run on my Tomcat 5.5,
using the codehouse maven-gwt-plugin 1.1.

I can run my project fine in hosted mode (from Eclipse), but when I
build a war and deploy it (using the maven plugin), and then go to the
web page containing the call to my Gwt module, I get a dialog saying
"GWT module se.Interactive needs to be (re)compiled, please run a
compile or use the Compile/Browse button in hosted mode".

So obviously something goes wrong in the Maven build, but I can't see
anything obvious. I have loooked in the war file and can see all the
expected files there, including the Gwt files.

I realize this might very well be caused my some strange interaction
in the maven-gwt-plugin, but I thought I should ask here as well.

And does anyone have any tips on how I could go about troubleshooting
this? The above message doesn't really give me any chance to see
what's going on. I'm fairly new to Gwt, so any debugging tips you
might have would be welcome.

I've got exactly the same Problem! Help Please...
I'm using Smart-Gwt on a Bea Weblogic Server and Maven build
It works fine with the hosted Mode, but when I start it with the
explorer
it says "GWT module UserProjekt needs to be (re)compiled, please run a

I had the same problem. I took the error message's advice and ran it
in hosted mode, clicked compile/Browse, then i took the /war directory
(or with maven maybe it's in src/main/webapp for you) and copied it to
the deploy dir of jboss (tomcat). I renamed it war.war and started
the server (put an exploded war on the server. That seemed to do it.
Now to figure out why the codehaus maven plugin isn't producing an
artifact with GWT compiled code...

I'm trying to upgrade from 1.5.2 to 1.6.4 and have the same issue as
the posts above, but I'm not using Maven at all. When I run in hosted
mode (launching from Eclipse Ganymede), as soon as I click the
"Compile/Browse" button, I get the error message "GWT module needs to
be (re)compiled". I also get this exception in the hosted mode
console:

[ERROR] Unexpected internal compiler error

etc. (stack trace is very long, but I can provide the whole thing if
necessary).

I read the issue summary, but it's not clear to me how to fix this
issue - is there more detailed documentation available?

Thank you,
Jennifer

Jennifer,

Sounds like you're up against this issue:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3510

There's a patch attached to comment #21 that has worked for many
(including myself). You can also upgrade to 1.7.0, which includes the
fix for issue #3510.

Hope that helps.

Hello Isaac,

Many thanks for the pointer to that thread. The patch fixed the issue
in 1.6.4 and I will also upgrade to 1.7.0 as you suggest.

Best,
Jennifer
