Hi Hunter, You're likely running into more than one problem here. Firstly, when looking to reuse external libraries in your GWT project, you must make sure that the library is cross-compilable to JavaScript and is supported by the GWT Emulated JRE, or ensure that the library is only intended to be used in server-side code.
The library that you're using here is likely not translatable source code, and so you will need to look at keeping and using that code uniquely on the server-side. If the code you're reusing is actually cross-compilable, then you can reuse it by both adding the JAR to your project classpath and inheriting the module in your own GWT module, via the <inherits> tag (see GWT module documentation linked below). If you are only using the library on the server-side and you're using the embedded Jetty server in hosted mode, you may need to add the JXL jar to the hosted mode launch configuration.
