Re: Found interface com.google.gwt.user.client.Element, but class was expected

For the record (and those who will come to this thread):

This error occurs when you (try to) hotswap (i.e. change while debugging) code that is using the Element class.

This is a known quirk, probably it's the JVM being not smart enough to handle the hotswap.

See the issue tracker: https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5252#c6

Hi Brian!

no, sorry, we do not use any generation, injection or what so ever
tools in our project.
and as said, there is actually no big problem for us, it occurrs from
time to time, so we just refresh and that is...
i hope you can fix your problem. and if so please post about it. i
still would really like to know what the problem might be.
