Please give some more context (source code, Gwt version, gwt-maps version , 
java version, etc).  

Does the Geocoder constructor crash if you run DevMode on the HelloMaps demo?  
Just download the gwt-maps-1.2.0 distribution and cd to samples/HelloMaps and 
run

ant devmode

This is code:

public class AskPopupPanel extends PopupPanel{
    private Geocoder geoCoder;

    public AskPopupPanel(Position t) {
        addMaps(Position t);
    }

    private void addMaps(final Position t) {
        // Open a map centered on Cawker City, KS USA
        Maps.loadMapsApi("", "2.x", true, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                UserDetails.setMapsEnabled();
                initializeMaps(t);
            }
        });
    }

    protected void initializeMaps(Position t) {

        LatLng sfcisco = LatLng.newInstance(37.781298, -122.419624);

        if(t != null)
            sfcisco = LatLng.fromUrlValue(t.getLat().toString()+","+t.getLng().toString());
        final MapWidget map = new MapWidget(sfcisco, 2);

        map.setPixelSize(880, 400);
        // Add some controls for the zoom level

        // Add a marker
        map.addOverlay(new Marker(sfcisco));

        // Add some controls for the zoom level
        map.addControl(new SmallMapControl());
        map.setCenter(sfcisco, 15);

        mapcontainer.add(map);
        geoCoder = new Geocoder();  // This is where it is crashing

    }
}

############################################

I have tried with GWT versions 2.0.3 and 2.0.4, 
Gwt-Maps: 1.1.0
Java: 1.3.1_01

The application crashes in dev mode. I haven't tried HelloMaps yet, but I 
followed simple instructions to invoke Geocoder.
Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong in the above code.

Thanks

Same problem with me. My code is:
final Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder();
geocoder.getLatLng(question.getCity(), new LatLngCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onFailure() { //...
        }
        @Override
    public void onSuccess(LatLng point) {
            MapWidget map = new MapWidget(point, 5);
        contentTable.setWidget(1, 0, map);
    }
});

The code crashes, when the Geocoder is instanciated.
Tested it with GWT SDK 2.0.3 and GWT 2.1.1 in Firefox and Chrome. I have also 
tried App Engine 1.3.4 1.4.0. My environment is Ubuntu Linux 10.0.4 with 
java-6-sun-1.6.20. The maps-api version is 1.1.0.

I resolved this issue by instantiating geocoder only after Maps have been 
initialized. Try this and let us know if it works for you.

header.
