Thanks, Hilco, for offering to help out.
(It may be that, working in true-beginner learning mode as I am, that
using Lukas Laag's gwt-svg library as my test case, as the external
module I wish to include in my simple gwt app, is more complicating
than need be. If there is some classic gwt add-on, 3rd party external
module that would be a better -- simpler -- test case, please suggest
it).
In svgApp/src/examples, where client/ server/ and shared/ directories
are found, I have svgApp.gwt.xml which includes this line:
<!-- Other module inherits -->
<inherits name='org.vectomatic.dom.svg'/>
I put the gwt-svg jar in svgApp/war/WEB-INF/lib, which has this
listing:
gwt-servlet-deps.jar
gwt-servlet.jar
lib-gwt-svg-0.5.4.jar
# which has these contents:
# jar tvf lib-gwt-svg-0.5.4.jar | grep gwt.xml
# 2141 Wed Nov 02 18:54:46 PDT 2011 org/vectomatic/libgwtsvg.gwt.xml
And the error message is:
00:00:00.032 [TRACE] Loading inherited module
'org.vectomatic.dom.svg'
00:00:00.032 [ERROR] Unable to find 'org/vectomatic/dom/
svg.gwt.xml' on your classpath; could be a typo,
or maybe you forgot to include a classpath
entry for source?
Is war/WEB-INF/lib the wrong place for me to put the client-side
external module jar?
Thanks for any advice!
