Hi Julian, You'll also need to add the Gears module to your GWT module XML file. This is probably the step you were missing that led to the hosted mode crash you observed after trying to run with the gwt-gears JAR on the project and launch configuration classpath.
Specifically, what you'll need to do is add the following line to your module XML file: <inherits name='com.google.gwt.gears.Gears' /> This tells the GWT compiler to look at the Gears.gwt.xml file defined in the path, and tells it that you are using the Gears module in your application. This would be the exact same case if you were to split out your own GWT module into two separate modules, one reusing the other. It is GWT's way to tell the compiler what it needs to compile, since unlike the standard Java compiler which just needs JARs on the classpath, the GWT compiler needs resources that tell it what code it needs to cross-compile to JavaScript when it tries to compile a GWT module. Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 6:41 AM, philipmac <philipmacmena...@gmail.com>wrote: > > right, everything looked like it should be ok, compiled completely > without warning, but somehow hosted mode only worked with the > noredist. > > I was wondering though why the gears GWT stuff is not distributed as a > plugin alongside the rest of GWT.
