GWT编译器无法在IntelliJ IDEA中找到依赖模块的源

Question

I'm using IDEA 117.216

It would be great if CrazyCoder sees this question :)

How do you guys reference another module so GWT compiler sees it ?

When I say module I mean module in IntelliJ IDEA's terminology.

Here is my situation. I have midside project (GAE + GWT + RequestFactory). Now I created Android module in my project. The idea is that it will use C2DM and talk to the server via RequestFactory (RF).

So naturally I created 3rd module within my project and moved all RF proxies and interfaces there so I can reference it both from GWT/GAE module and Android module.

Android module likes it, but GWT compiler doesn't. It can't find classes that I moved to "shared" module. Giving me errors such as:

[ERROR] Errors in 'file:/C:/work/sideprojects/courierapp/src/com/blah/courierApp/client/admin/AdminPage.java'
[ERROR] Line 77: No source code is available for type com.blah.shared.proxies.OrderProxy; did you forget to inherit a required module?
[ERROR] Line 81: No source code is available for type com.blah.shared.factories.AdminRequestFactory; did you forget to inherit a required module?

I need to note that SharedClasses module is added as dependency for GWT module. But still GWT doesn't know where its sources are.

It seems to me it's this bug .

How do you solve this ? I don't really want to have two steps of compilation: build shared classes jar with sources first, then build GWT project that references that jar and etc...

Answer 1

It's more like IDEA-67661 where the responsible developer explains why it is so:

IDEA 10 indeed includes to the classpath source roots from modules with GWT facets only . This ensures that unneeded directories aren't added to the classpath. Also you need to have a GWT Facet in a module to enable GWT-specific completion and inspections in it...

Answer 2

You must let .java files in the module. GWT compiler works with them, not with .class files.
