Question

is it possible to include an EntryPoint inside the GWT project’s test folder?

if so, how to refer this EntryPoint in the [module-name].gwt.xml file?

my purpose:

to build a JavaScript library wrapper as a single GWT module which separates the emulation environment (the EntryPoint class and its containers, panels etc.) into the test folder, while leaving the src folder clean from EntryPoint classes or containers and panels used for emulation.

that way, i can pack only the src folder into a jar, to be used as a clean GWT module.

currently i am building separate projects for the module and for the emulation – the emulation project reference and inherits the module, and the module is strictly clean (holds the public JS sources, but no EntryPoint or HTML / CSS files).

note:

already tried to add the test folder to the classpath or include it as a source in the [module-name].gwt.xml.

Answer 1

The test folder usually execute java code and the gwt compiler doesn’t compile code from there. What it sounds like you may need is to put your wrapper gwt in a standalone module that doesn’t have an entry point. Then you need module with an entry point just to bootstrap the library module you have created to test the wrappers in the browsers. It will be easiest if you create the test/bootstrap module as the project, then create a separate module for the wrapper stuff. Be sure to include an for the wrapper module in the project module so it can link in the wrapper code.
