Question

I am trying to put together a GWT webapp following this GWT MVP tutorial but using newer releases of the used libraries because not all of them are available any more or not compatible with GWT 2.4.

The problem is that when I run the project, I get the following to the console:

Libraries needed for the projects vs libraries I have:

• gin.jar — gin-1.5-post-gwt-2.2.jar (gin-1.5)
• aopalliance.jar (from Google Gin) — aopalliance.jar (gin-1.5)
• guice-2.0.jar (from Google Gin. IMPORTANT – use the version supplied with Gin and not Guice) — guice-snapshot.jar (gin-1.5)
• guice-servlet-2.0.jar (from Google Guice) — guice-servlet-3.0.jar (guice-3.0)
• gwt-dispatch-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (from gwt-dispatch) — gwt-dispatch-1.2.0.jar
• gwt-log-2.6.2.jar (from gwt-log) — gwt-log-3.1.8.jar
• gwt-presenter-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (from gwt-presenter) — gwt-presenter-1.0.0.jar
• log4j.jar (from log4j) — log4j-1.2.16.jar

Gwt-presenter also has a newer version, 1.1.1 which caused additional problems so I went back to 1.0.0 but that is an another story.

I have the code uploaded to GitHub. Most of it is just copy-paste from the mentioned tutorial with minor differences.

Answer 1

Libraries you have posted

guice-2.0.jar (from Google Gin. IMPORTANT - use the version supplied with Gin and not Guice) --- guice-snapshot.jar (gin-1.5)
guice-servlet-2.0.jar (from Google Guice) --- guice-servlet-3.0.jar (guice-3.0)

seems colliding. It seems you have Guice 2.0.jar and Guice 3.0.jar both in your classpath.
Keep only Guice 3.0.jar. This should solve your problem.
