GWT 2.7 with Netbeans not compiling

Question

I am learning GWT. And trying to create a HelloWorld in GWT using NetBeans. So I have created a new Web project and added GWT as Frameworks for the project. I am using GlassFish 4.1 and GWT SDK 2.7. But when I try ro run the project, I am getting the below error,

Could not find or load main class com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler

When I change the GWT version to 2.7 from the project's properties. It is working fine. Also gone through this question. Hence, it seems like te class GWTCompiler supposedly not to be used. How can I tell my project to use the compiler com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler

Answer 1

Is gwt-dev.jar in the classpath? Apparently GWT 2.6.0 only needs gwt-user.jar, but GWT 2.7.0 needs both files in the classpath.

Answer 2

Just ran over the same problem. Fix it by doing the following.

Open build-gwt.xml

And look for the line

      <antcall target="do-gwt-compile-15" />

Remove it. Done :-)
