Re: SDM doesn't recompile generator files outside client package

Thanks Thomas. Running the project in debugger rather than regular run, doing a hotswap, and then changing a file in client package, seems to do the trick.

If a client package file isn't modified, sdm skips recompile because 'no files were modified'. Just adding some whitespace seems to be enough.

Strange why updating the web server doesn't do the same thing, i.e it even restarts the web server if you ask. Oh well.

Thanks a lot for the help.

You can use hot code replace; either through IntelliJ (see https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/reloading-classes.html and https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/debugger-hotswap.html) or using tools like JRebel.

I have a project at com.foo, with a com.foo.client package, and a com.foo.rebind package.

Rebind contains generators which are used in the module.gwt.xml file, e.g:

<generate-with class="com.foo.BarGenerator">

    <when-type-assignable class="com.foo.Bar" />

  </generate-with>

The problem is, when I run this through IntelliJ as a normal GWT configuration, using 2.7.0-RC1, then on reload, while sdm recompiles, it seems to only recompile the files in com.foo.client, and com.foo.rebind seems to remain untouched, i.e any changes I make to the generator don't take effect.

The same happens even if I update the web server by clicking the update button. In the end, I have to completely stop the run config, and start a whole new run config, which then restarts the web server as well as the codeserver, and takes several mins to complete. The process is quite slow.

Is there any workaround, so that com.foo.rebind is recompiled & new generators are made with each sdm recompile? If not, what's my best option?
