Hello,
I am creating a GWT Overlay Type library, and have just written an
ant build file for creating the JAR file that GWT applications will
import. To maintain code integrity, I make the JAR creation depend on
a java compile of all the code, and also a gwt compile. Obviously,
this is meant to ensure that the code in the library is acceptable
Java, and also that it is acceptable GWT.
When I run the GWT compiler, however, I get an error related to the
fact that my library has no entry point...
-------------------------
Buildfile: C:\Data\Dev\EclipseWorkspaceTrunk\gwtgfx\build.xml
javac-compile:
[javac] Compiling 2 source files to C:\Data\Dev
\EclipseWorkspaceTrunk\gwtgfx\build\javac
gwt-compile:
[java] Compiling module gwtgfx.GwtGfx
[java] [ERROR] Module has no entry points defined
BUILD FAILED
C:\Data\Dev\EclipseWorkspaceTrunk\gwtgfx\build.xml:25: The following
error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Data\Dev\EclipseWorkspaceTrunk\gwtgfx\build.xml:45: Java returned:
1
Total time: 3 seconds
-------------------------
Of course, it makes perfect sense that my library has no entry point
since it is, in fact, a library... not an application.
Is there an option for the GWT compiler to do only the parts that I
want here? I want the GWT compiler to ensure, for example, that all
of my JavaScriptObject subclasses follow the specified restrictions
(has a protected no-arg constructor, instance methods are final,
etc)... and anything else that the GWT compiler might do now, or in
the future, to check that the GWT code is valid. If not having an
entry point means that there is no reasonable way to do one or more of
the compiler steps, then that should be okay because those steps
probably aren't relevant for a library anyways.
As a temporary hack, I guess I am going to include an entry point,
but I really don't want to ship this. Is there a better alternative?
Thanks in advance. :)
