Hi Eric, I think you might be missing my point, or else I was unclear. The error message explicitly says the ~gwt.xml file is missing from the classpath. Tell me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure you would never explicitly specify the ~gwt.xml file in the classpath, but would rather expect the compiler to find that file either in its related jar or class library (which definitely should be in the classpath). If you agree with me, that you wouldn't put the ~gwt.xml file directly in the classpath, then the message is misleading and confusing, in my opinion.
