I can look into what features the maven plugin may have but I think I'm
missing something. I don't understand why changing the name to index.html
fixes things. And by fixing things I mean get rid of package names in the
URL. I'm not a web guru, I spend most of my time with jars/apps not wars so
I'm somewhat unclear which part does what.
I have the following structure in the non-gwt part:
- webapp
- WEB-INF
web.xml
index.html
(this index.html file contains
content="0;url=com.companyname.website.App/App.html">)
Then in the gwt part I have an App.html file in the public folder. (this
html file contains <meta name='gwt:module'
content='com.companyname.website.client.App'>)
Why does changing the name of the later fix anything?
