problem recognizing source from a 2nd gwt project

[richfarrell]

Hello,
I have a gwt module that references value objects from another project. I’ve made the other project a gwt project by simply including the default gwt module in that project (before that it had no GWT code at all in it).





I then try to reference the project in my project xml with this line
<inherits name="com.uptodate.utdAdminVo.ImageViewer"/> and the complete xml is below.

This doesn’t seem to work, I still get many errors for the included value objects, and when I right click on the problem the quick fix is
“Import GWT module com.uptodate.utdAdminVo.ImageViewerâ€

It doesn't sound like your value objects are located in the package "com.mycompany.project.client". Just including a fake *.gwt.xml is not enough.

The following explains how to set up multiple GWT modules and how to have one refrence another...

GWT Designer does not impose any rules that are not already imposed by GWT itself.

hi Rich,

GWT Designer plugins is so nice built into Eclipse features that is enough if you have:
- 2nd Eclpse project open and built wihtout issue (so it is compiled into its bin output folder)
- in your current Eclipse project you reference external project in buildpath (Properties>Java build path>Projects>Required projects on the build path);

after that when coding you should get QuickHints including automatic "inherit" .gwt.xml module tag added to your project module just after you type referenced project class (code hinting works without adding "inherit" tag, errors should be corrected by QuickFix features automatically),

if referencing external project does not work that way then definitely there is something wrong wiht build paths (in referenced or current project),

regards,
Peter
