Compiling Gadget Linker Error - erros on gadget.xml - Where's it get defined?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release: 1.6+

Detailed description:
    Compiling gadget linker error using GWT gadget Jars. Compiler is
looking for the .gadget.xml file in the artifacts and throws on compile.
Not sure how it gets defined to be in the artifcacts. Having said that, I
have not been able to find much documentation on the fact of compiling a
gadget in 1.6. 1.6+ gwt gadget jar documentation is would be helpful.

Workaround if you have one:
   Haven't been able to find one yet.

Links to the relevant GWT Developer Forum posts:
http://gwt-examples.googlecode.com/ - look for the flashcard source

----- 
1.6 gadget api must be different. How is the gadget.xml file get setup
or the manifest defined?

One thing about that code that seems a bit unusual is that UserPreferences is 
not
subclasses.  That might tickle a bug in the gadget linker.

The gadgets-1.1 API fixes this problem.

Could you please open a new issue with more details about your project setup, 
your module.gwt.xml file and what versions of GWT you are compiling against?  
gwt-gadgets-1.2.1-rc1 is meant to be used with GWT 2.3.

Please also attach all of the output you get from the compiler.

Also, let me know if this is an existing project that works in other versions 
of gwt-gadgets and that just went bad when you updated to the latest library, 
or a brand new project.

My mistake, I was referring to the Module  entry class and not the gadget class.
fixed.
