TextArea throwing ExceptionInInitializerError (And java.lang.IllegalArgumentException)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Create a Custom TextBox (Say CustomTextBox.java or CustomerNumberBox which 
extends TextBox).
2.  Use it in the Ui binder (Say <g:CustomTextBox ui:Field="" 
textAlignment="right"/>)
3.  In the Test class which uses gwt-test-utils, instantiate the View class of 
the UiBinder created in step 2 above and run the test class.  You will get 
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot invoke 
com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.ValueBoxBase.setAlignment - argument type 
mismatch.".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Test class shouldn't throw IllegalArgumentException.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
.39

Please provide any additional information below.
Following is the advise from Gael when posted this issue in the gwt-test-utils 
group.

---------------
this is an issue with UiBinder TextArea support in gwt-test-utils. Could you 
please open a new ticket on the tracker ? I'll fix it asap. 

Cheers, 

Gael Lazzari

I've just deployed a new 0.40-SNAPSHOT with a fix for the deprecated 
TextBoxBase.setTextAlignment(..) method.

Could you please give it a try and post some feedback ? Before upgrading, you 
should carefully read this :

You don't have to connect to the svn and build gwt-test-utils yourself. Every 
snapshots are deployed on sonatype oss maven repository.
If you are a maven user, just add the following repository in your pom :

   <repository>
      <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
      <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
      <snapshots>
         <enabled>true</enabled>
      </snapshots>
      <releases>
         <enabled>false</enabled>
      </releases>
   </repository>

Otherwise, you can download it manually by browsing the repo : 
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/googlecode/gwt-test-
utils/
