Magallo, I just built my war the same way--thanks for the tip. Right click on build.xml Run As Ant Build Select first 'build.xml' item in list Click OK
My war file was built successfully. One other tip from me--edit your build.xml and remove the gwt-dev.jar from your filesets. This jar file bloats your war file by 33 MB and is only needed when running your project from Eclipse (you don't need or want it in the war file you deploy to Tomcat): <!-- <fileset file="C:\Java\eclipse\gwt-2.5.0\gwt-dev.jar"/> --> You'll also need to delete gwt-dev.jar from your /war/WEB-INF/lib folder if it is already there. Once you do that, your war file will shrink by 33 MB. Best, Jeff On Thursday, June 27, 2013 2:36:42 AM UTC-6, Magallo wrote: > > Thanks for the tip. I add another way to compile.
