superdevmode when working with multiple projects

[Marius Grama]

Hi,

I've downloaded gwt 2.5.0 RC1 SDK and successfully worked with it for testing super devmode on a GWT helloworld application.

Then i've tried to test super devmode on a more complex project structure:

- my.gwt.web.module.standard

- common.gwt.web.module

- another.common.gwt.web.module

When I start the CodeServer I get this exception:

workDir: C:\Users\mga\AppData\Local\Temp\gwt-codeserver-3445187718077539929.tmp

binding: user.agent=safari

binding: compiler.useSourceMaps=true

binding: locale=en

         [ERROR] Hint: Check that the type name ' common.gwt.client.MyEntryPoint ' is really what you meant

         [ERROR] Hint: Check that your classpath includes all required source roots

at com.google.gwt.dev.codeserver.CodeServer.start(CodeServer.java:88)

at com.google.gwt.dev.codeserver.CodeServer.main(CodeServer.java:51)

[ERROR] Compiler returned false

I've added the source directories of all dependent GWT projects in the classpath.

In my main module .xml file I've added the following properties:

<set-property name="compiler.useSourceMaps" value="true">

</set-property>

<add-linker name="xsiframe" />

<set-configuration-property name="devModeRedirectEnabled"

value="true" />

Can anyone help with some sugestions on how to get rid of the compiler problem?

Thanks in advance.

Brian Slesinsky said not so long ago that the way they use it at Google is that they pass the source folders as '-src' arguments rather than on the classpath (where you'd only have the compiled classes), and loading sources from the classpath was actually untested.

Thanks Thomas for the quick answer.

The problem was on my side. I've done the helloworld application through a GWT wizard and there the source folder was src/. On the other hand the bigger application I'm working on uses a Maven source layout, src/main/java.

I've modified this on the run configuration for the CodeServer and now it goes further. I stumble in some GIN problems, but this has to do with some inconsistencies with GWT 2.5 that I have on the application. After fixing them I'll try once again to run super devmode.

Others have gone that road already, have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11063263/how-can-i-use-superdevmode-with-maven/11070670#comment14593663_11070670

I'll add support for SuperDevMode in the gwt-maven-plugin as soon as gwt-codeserver is published on Central.

loading sources from the classpath works. for me, at least.
