Fixed for tomorrow's nightly builds of 3.0, 3.1, 4.0.

Firefox changed the format of "geckoVersion" in the userAgent string so 
workarounds were being applied that are only needed for ancient Firefox/Mozilla 
versions.

Thanks for the concern, but after a few attempts using 
/builds/SmartGWT/3.0p/LGPL/2012-11-22 gwt compiler fails, see attached log, I 
tried it on three workstations getting the same failure, ultimately I 
reinstalled /builds/SmartGWT/3.0p/LGPL/2012-11-21.

We can't reproduce this compile issue, and it seems like it must be an issue 
with using some files from one version and some files from another.

If you need more help, post on the forums rather than on this issue (which is 
now unrelated) and be sure to explain exactly where all your files are from and 
how you are compiling.

I do not want to take advantage of your kindness, 
but within smartgwt.jar (/builds/SmartGWT/3.0p/LGPL/2012-11-23), 
I found that in JSOHelper class, (package com.smartgwt.client.util) 
there is method public static jsDate convertToJavaScriptDate (Date date)

while in smartgwt.jar (/ builds/SmartGWT/3.0p/LGPL/2012-11-19)
the method is public static JavaScriptObject convertToJavaScriptDate(Date date)

I would not want to risk being trivial or superficial but
it would seem that the compiler try to find the method corresponding to the 
prototype in the previous version and within the latest version the method 
signature has changed then gwt compiler fails 
....
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
com.smartgwt.client.util.JSOHelper.convertToJavaScriptDate(Ljava/util/Date;)Lcom
/google/gwt/core/client/JavaScriptObject;
....

I completely reinstalled the whole environment
3.51 eclipse Galileo
appengine-java-sdk-1.7.3
com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.3.5.update.site_3.1.2
but the result does not change

I will follow your advice and post the question in the forum.

thank you for your patience.

Best Regards
Vittorio

Eureka, I've removed all the data in the various compiler cache and now 
everything works fine, thank you for your courtesy.

Best Regards
