I downloaded xstream jar and sourcecode and append the sourcecode into jar file using winrar
and i created 2 gwt.xml files.
xstream.gwt.xml is present in com.thoughtworks
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module>
<source path="xstream"/>
</module>
and operations.gwt.xml is present in com.thoughworks.xstream
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module>
<source path="annotations"/>
<source path="converters"/>
<source path="core"/>
<source path="io"/>
<source path="mapper"/>
<source path="persistence"/>
</module>
Edited: its my gwt project xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module rename-to='test'>
<inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>
<inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.theme.standard.Standard'/>
<inherits name='com.thoughtworks.xstream'/>
<entry-point class='com.example.test.client.Index'/>
</module>
but i got an error
Compiling module com.example.test.Test

You cannot use reflection in GWT;
getDeclaredFields
getDeclaredMethod
forName
getConstructor
and the likes … are all reflective calls;
