Question

I have seen in different posts how GWT modules can be shared across different projects.

E.g.
How to use source code of one gwt application in to another application

My Case is a little more specific, as I’m having two Grails+GWT Plugins: projectA and projectB.

projectA contains java beans in src/java that are both used in the Grails services as well as in the src/gwt code. I have defined a module.gwt.xml that contains the paths to my java beans, which my main module (EntryPoint.gwt.xml) inherits. This works fine for projectA.

I have created projectB and I want to use the java beans declared in projectA in projectB’s Grails services and src/gwt code. I managed to share the java beans for the services by adding grails.plugin.location.’projectA’ = in the BuildConfig.groovy of projectB. However when I add a in the main module (EntryPoint.gwt.xml) of projectB I get the following error when compiling the GWT modules in projectB.

Loading inherited module '<qualified module name>'
  |    [ERROR] Unable to find '<qualified module name>' on your classpath; could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?
  | [ERROR] Line 16: Unexpected exception while processing element 'inherits'

Any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Answer 1

Adding the following property in the BuildConfig.groovy resolved my issue.

gwt.plugins = [“/name-of-plugin/”]
