Re: Advice needed - compile error while moving back to GWT 2.7 from 2.8.2

I sometimes, when I'm a bit desperate, I debug the project, find some classes for the conflicting code using the "Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(...)", and use the variable inspector to find the class loader and the actual file that has been used to load the class. At least, you finally found where the hell was the cached class! ;) ... maybe the first time is a bit confusing, but after sometimes, you will solve those mixed/cached classpath problems much faster!

We have seen similar issues with this when we were experimenting with some projects and upgrading to 2.8.2.  The things to double check are:

1. That there are no duplicate jars from different versions of GWT, as mentions by Thomas Broyer.

2. Delete any GWT generated folder such as the gwt-unitCache, and the script outputs in the war folder and also any GWT generated files in the temp folder.

3. If still running into problems, delete the Eclipse workspace .metadata folder, re-setup the workspace and import the existing projects into the cleaned workspace.

Due to GWT compilation caching, and Eclipse deployment caching, if files do not change during the modification process, they can still reference the the incorrect version of GWT, or the jars that are actually deployed to the location where the Jetty server is run from by eclipse may not be updated.

We have to move our project back to GWT 2.7 due to some java 1.8 issues. I've checked all my jar files to make sure they are 2.7 and no duplicate jars in the build path but am getting errors when I try to compile with Ant.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
