Question

In Eclipse, creating a GWT EntryPoint results in some generated code that looks like this:

public class Main implements EntryPoint {
    public void onModuleLoad() {
        // TODO implement
    }
}

The EntryPoint interface declares a single method: void onModuleLoad. If I add a @Override annotation to onModuleLoad, however, Eclipse throws an error: The method onModuleLoad() of type Main must override a superclass method.

My app runs fine (without the annotation), and I’m curious as to why this might happen. Any ideas?

Set up your project to use Java 6.
