Re: How to add GWT to a pure java library with maven?

The "shared" module in the archetype is just that.

Look at how it calls the maven-source-plugin's source:jar-no-fork (config inherited from parent's pluginManagement) and then how it's used in the "client" module (that uses both its classes and its sources).

If your lib is a "client only" lib, then you can just declare src/main/java as a resource directory (<build><resources><resource>…) and they'll be packaged in your JAR, so in the project/module using it you'd have a single dependency (similar to how you depend on gwt-user, or gxt, or…)

Hi,

I have a pure java library created with maven and the archetype "quickstart":

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart

Now I would like to do the following:

• add classes to the library that use GWT classes
• use the library classes, e. g. in a maven modular-webapp on the client side
• edit the library code in eclipse, while eclipse "sees" the GWT classes
  for example, to add imports automatically when hovering an unknown class name

How do I have to modify the pure java library to do this?

I have tried to adopt contents of the pom.xml from the modular-webapp archetype (client side), but without success.

I also don't know if I have to add dependencies (gwt: user, dev and servlet, but which one?) or plugins (codehaus stuff), or both?

There are docs on the net (codehaus, mojo, ...) but I am unsure if these are suitable for me.

Remember, I don't want to build a web app here, just collect code to be used in web apps.

Please point me to the right direction or to a suitable documentation.

Thanks

Magnus
