for some reason when I try to use scanner with gwt, i get the following error:
No source code is available for type java.util.Scanner; did you forget to inherit a required module?
I looked around and it seems the “No source code is available for type xxxx” errors are due to not having a Javascript equivalent type for the Java type.
Is scanner not able to be used with GWT?
Here is a snippet of my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
...
public void submit(){
String text = editor.getEditor().getText();
Scanner input = new Scanner(text);
while(input.hasNextLine()){
String line = input.nextLine();
if(line.contains("//")){
cInfo.setDone(false);
cInfo.setCode(text);
return;
}
cInfo.setDone(true);
cInfo.setCode(text);
}
}
}
java.util.Scanner is not part of the GWT JRE Emulation. If you need a detail overview of what is inside the emulation here is the link to the docs:
