Not at all. Think "class path". > If it > is in the same place, then it seems I have to remove the old one from > the jar and put the new .java file in the jar and then recompile.

Open (double-click) the file from the JAR, Eclipse should show you the source (as it lives within the JAR). Copy. 2. Create a new class in your project with the same package and class name. Paste (replacing everything else in the file). 3. Make your change 4. in your project's "build path", in the "order and export" tab, make sure your source folder comes before the gwt-user.jar (i.e. earlier in the classpath) That's it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
