Compiler error, reproduced

[Roberto Leibman]

Remember I was having a compiler error earlier? well, I still get it
when I try to compile in the gwtc step (the devmode version works
fine, but I now really want to try to package a war and test it in
tomcat)
The error I get only happens if I have this line in the client

GourmetWeb.service =
GWT.create(classOf[GourmetWebService])

The error is:

OK... I get it it's hard to figure out... does anyone know at least
what part of the project needs to be compiled so I can try to run it
in the debugger to see if I can fix it?
As near as I can tell, scala is taking this:

class MyClass(var myvar:String) {
}

and creating the equivalent java code

public class MyClass {
private String myvar;
public String myvar() {return myvar;}
public void myvar_$eq(String myvar) {this.myvar = myvar;}
}

The gwt compiler is looking for a "public String myvar" and not
finding it. I think I could modify the gwt compiler to either look for
the private field (subverting it by using setAccessible on the field
if necessary) or looking for the special case scala setter myvar_$eq

[Nate Bauernfeind]

I have no idea where in the GWT compiler this is happening -- I
haven't had any time to try and figure it out.

However, to get UIBinder to work I had to add some setter / getter
support. Perhaps a similar change somewhere else in the GWT compiler
could fix your issue.

Here's what was necessary for ui binder (I think the top two commits
are sufficient).
