Question

I’m using the gwt-mosaic 0.4.0-rc4. I have the following errors after a mvn gwt:compile :

Do you know what these errors mean ?

Answer 1

These are all warnings, not errors. The first one, printed twice states merely that the class being referenced is deprecated in the latest gwt version, and may not exist in future versions, so the library should remove its use of it.

All of the other messages indicate that IE9 support has been added, and that your library has no IE9 support. As such, the compiler is building an IE9 build using another version of IE code.
