Add client/shared/server in package name

[freddyboucher]

Hi @tbroyer I'm refactoring my app to use your maven plugin but I'd like to keep client/shared and server in my package name (in addition of having them in a different maven module) instead of using the same package name for all.

• com.test.webapp.client
• com.test.webapp.shared
• com.test.webapp.server

But when I do it and execute mvn gwt:codeserver -pl webapp-client -am, I get:

I setup a small Github project to show you what I did: https://github.com/freddyboucher/webapp/commit/f5ead4458026f6349f18a9692bdf13718c64e375

How can I achieve that? Thanks

I think you'll need to add the packages that contain client side code (so shared & client) to the gwt module definition here: https://github.com/freddyboucher/webapp/blob/master/webapp-client/src/main/module.gwt.xml

so replace <source path="" /> with <source path="client" /> and <source path="shared" />

[tbroyer]

The problem is that you have your module in com.test.client (with <source path=""/>) so com.test.shared is not in the GWT source path. To follow GWT's general conventions, you'd put your module in com.test (i.e. <moduleName>com.test.App</moduleName>). You shouldn't have to exclude com.test.server from GWT's source path, as it shouldn't be present in the classpath, but you may want to change the <source path="" /> to:

<source path="client" />
<source path="shared" />

(or just remove the <source path="" />, and the gwt:generate-module mojo will automatically generate those 2 lines along with a <super-source path="super" />).

So @kaefert is not wrong, but that wouldn't change anything alone, as the root of the problem is that you changed <moduleName>.

You were right, I just moved the EntryPoint under com.test https://github.com/freddyboucher/webapp/commit/3ff99f3d0ab57ead3ef984b745ad045f3a5c08ee Everything works fine! Thanks @kaefert @tbroyer

[tbroyer]

No need to move the EntryPoint; only the module needed to move (either that or create another module in com.test.shared with <source path="" /> that the module under com.test.client <inherits/>)

[freddyboucher]

@tbroyer Perfect it works with my EntryPoint under /client package as you said! https://github.com/freddyboucher/webapp/commit/5adf0748b3e09fac4d9b7e6064966f3e57f4903f

PS: I'm going to open another issue because mvn jetty:start -Denv=dev and it's probably not related with this one. Thanks
