Do you mean that the class (or superclass) had a public void onModuleLoad() method but no implements EntryPoint? I know that the mere presence of an onModuleLoad method (even a static one) was enough to turn any class into an entry point, and it's possible that it changed at some point; but that was never documented, so could hardly be considered a bug (this is an answer to Jens ;-) ).
Anyway, glad you figured it out. On Monday, October 2, 2017 at 9:12:44 PM UTC+2, John Malpas wrote: > > I figured it out.
