The GWT compiler requires the source (.java) files, and hosted mode works with bytecode (.class), so it is generally as simple as packaging all of the source and bytecode files into the jar.
have a look at the gwt-user.jar for an example of what that looks like. The other option is to simply import the svn checkout (source) into eclipse, and use that with your project directly. Sometimes this is an easier route to go anyway, especially if you are modifying the source regularly. -jason On Mar 22, 2009, at 4:37 PM, Superman859 wrote: > > I use Eclipse for GWT, and I'm trying to use a third party library > (OFC GWT) for charting.
