error creating module in 7.1.0.20090722

[xristy]

I'm in the process of upgrading from 1.5.3 to 1.7.0 and downloaded the latest build of GWTDesigner 7.1.0.20090722. I try creating a new GWT Java project from scratch including a new Module and the module is created with an error:

Multiple markers at this line
- The method onClick(ClickEvent) of type new ClickHandler(){} must override a superclass
method
- implements com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.ClickHandler.onClick

this is on line 23 of the created module. Here's a screenshot of the source file:

.

Is this some error on my part? I've pointed GWTDesigner at the gwt-1.7.0 install and so on.

You can either:

1) Update to the latest build and try it again, or

2) Use JDK 1.6, or

3) Remove the @override annotation

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that JDK 1.6 was recommended for GWTDesigner and thought that the error might be perplexing to some. Removing the @override is simple but I must confess to being puzzled as to why the error even happens since the superclass method is being overridden in the anonymous sub-class.

Maybe that was something that Sun fixed in JDK 1.6. GWT Designer itself does not care whether you use JDK 1.5 or 1.6.
