Re: Anyone tried to compile an old GWT 1.x app, under 2.5? Don't bother...it's broken.

Ok, I finally figured it out. (sigh).

After putting the gwt-maps.jar somewhere (I put it into the gwt tree), then

add a line to "build.xml" like:

<pathelement location="${gwt.sdk}/gwt-maps.jar"/>

Then, in your module's (project's) xml file, add an 'inherits' line like:

<inherits name='com.google.gwt.maps.GoogleMaps'/>

Then, ant should be able to get a functional compile.

[My 4-year-old project also does some xml-parsing, so in that case, you'd

also need an inherits line to get the XML-support module::]

  <inherits name='com.google.gwt.xml.XML'/>

Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers...

Ok. I tried this.

Use the new WebAppCreator, and create a work area for some 'SimpleMaps' example.

Run ant, and the generic generated code will compile.

But, as soon as you take the example code from SimpleMaps and try to compile that, the

compile will fail.

There's some mumbling about various tweaks, such

as putting gwt-maps.jar into the GWT tree, or adding an 'inherits' as shown at:

http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/wiki/MapsGettingStarted

but none of that works.  (I tried with 1.1.1 and 1.0.4, etc)

I'm just talking about getting a clean compile.  I can't.

Not under Win-7.

Not under Linux.

Someone didn't do their homework (aka basic testing).

So, what's my workaround, until this gets sorted???
