 Ralph,

 Thanks for your suggestion. However, one of our GWT project in 
 production was developed long time ago and has very big codebase. I'm not 
 sure how hard to convert it to Maven oriented project. It seems that we 
 have to do lots of code refactoring 
 in order to separate client side and server side code and other 
 configuraitons. 

 thanks,
 Jenny

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11

2023-07-12 Thread 'RobW' via GWT Users
I can't comment on the Eclipse plugin side of things, because we don't use 
those. But I can confirm that basic GWT 2.9/2.10 compilation works fine 
under Java 11 - that's our main Java platform now. I do recall some 
migration notes in the GWT 2.9 or 2.10 release notes we had to take care 
over, but I don't think those were Java version specific. More a case of 
changes in GWT packaging.

 With all these issues related to out-dated Eclipse plug-ins I would 
 strongly suggest switching to the new GWT Maven plug-in instead. Follow

 create a project that you can easily import into the most recent Eclipse 
 (or any other IDE) subsequently. I don’t see much support for Eclipse

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11

2023-07-11 Thread Ying Jin
Ralph, thanks very much for your suggestion. I'll look into more of the 
approach to convert our gwt project to maven project.

BTW, I've found the solution to make the GWT plugin work again in my laptop 
to compile the GWT project.

I came across the following post when searching for the error related to 
webappcreator. 

After I removed the "classpath" system variable from my new laptop and 
moved the GWT SDK to the top of the build path, the GWT Compiler starts 
working to compile the GWT project.

 In addition, I've tried to install other version of Eclipse such as

 3 
 from market place and tried to create a sample gwt web application project 
 as described below in gwt site, I got the error " Invocation of

 and followed the tutorial below.

 Is there a way to get a working GWT plugin for Eclipse which can work 
 with JDK 11?

 Your help is much appreciated!

2023-07-11 Thread Ralph Fiergolla

It should not be that hard actually: you probably have separated client, 
shared and server side classes following the standard package naming 
convention. That is, basically it will be sufficient to copy your source 
code to the according client/shared/server sub projects and you are done. 
Okay, devil is in the details, but I did the same with some legacy project 
and happily live ever after. Give it a try. Definitely better than spending 
more time on installing different eclipse versions and plug-ins.

Hi Jenny!
With all these issues related to out-dated Eclipse plug-ins I would 
strongly suggest switching to the new GWT Maven plug-in instead. Follow the 
instructions https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes/ to create a 
project that you can easily import into the most recent Eclipse (or any 
other IDE) subsequently. I don’t see much support for Eclipse plug-ins 
coming… I learned it the hard way too but am now happily working the Maven 
way. 
Bon courage!

 Thanks for your reply. Please see attached for the GWT lib specified in 
 the java build path in Eclipse. I tried to compile it with JDK 8 and it 
 didn't work either. 
 The same project configuration in Eclipse worked in my old laptop, but 
 not in my new laptop. The Eclipse in the new laptop is a copy of the 
 Eclipse installed in the old laptop.

 In addition, I also tried to  copy the "gwt-dev.jar" from the old 
 laptop to the new one, but the compilation still gave me the following 
 error.

 Error: Could not find or load main class com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler

 The project was compiled by using GWT->Compile option provided by the 
 GWT Plugin installed in Eclipse.

 Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0)
 GWT Plugin version: 3.0

 Your help is greatly appreciated!

 thanks,

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11

2023-07-10 Thread Ying Jin
Hi Colin,

I posted this issue on the gwt plugin site below, but there is no reply yet.

https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-eclipse-plugin/issues/470

In addition, I've tried to install other version of Eclipse such as Eclipse 
4.18 (2020-12) with a new workspace. After I installed GWT plugin 3 from 
market place and tried to create a sample gwt web application project 
as described below in gwt site, I got the error " Invocation of 
com.google.gwt.user.tools.WebAppCreator failed. See the error log for more 
details."  It seems to me this current market place gwt plugin didn't work 
as I didn't use our project at all
and followed the tutorial below.

https://www.gwtproject.org/usingeclipse.html

Is there a way to get a working GWT plugin for Eclipse which can work with 
JDK 11?

Your help is much appreciated!
Jenny

 Without other information, it sounds like there is a problem with your 
 copy of gwt-dev.jar - the jar might be corrupt, or somehow not on your 
 classpath? 

 Can you verify that the jar is present and correct, and share more 
 specifics of how you are building?

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11

2023-07-04 Thread Colin Alworth
If the class can't be found, something is wrong with your gwt-dev, or the 
gwt-dev isn't on the classpath, or more details from the error message will 
indicate why the Compiler class couldn't be loaded. 

Please file a bug with more details (logs, full error message, other 
details about differences between the working computer and non-working 
computer) at https://github.com/gwt-plugins/gwt-eclipse-plugin/ so 
contributors there can take a closer look?

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11

2023-06-16 Thread Colin Alworth
GWT 2.9 should support running on Java 11, both running on JDK 11 and 
compiling Java 11 sources.

Without other information, it sounds like there is a problem with your copy 
of gwt-dev.jar - the jar might be corrupt, or somehow not on your 
classpath? 

Can you verify that the jar is present and correct, and share more 
specifics of how you are building?
