Java Method Overloading

I have a model class Item with a Integer value. I builded an app using this model.

For a new particular case, the value should be a Float as well.

So I changed the type of value to Float and regenerate setter/getter. 

In order to not change the current app, I try to create a overloading method : 

public void setValue(Integer value) {

this.value = value.floatValue();

}

At java level, everything seems ok, all compile errors are solved. But at GWT compilation, the call of this method complains with :

            [ERROR] Line 93: The method setValue(Float) in the type Item is not applicable for the arguments (Integer)

 like if GWT doesnot see my method setValue(Integer).

 

 Am I missing something ? Is there a way to make this works without creating a second separate attribute ?

Thanks in advance
