I've inherited a GWT project and I'm receiving the following compiler error (more info below):
[java] [ERROR] Line 51: No source code is available for type java.lang.NoSuchFieldError; did you forget to inherit a required module? It's complaining about a core part of the language here, right? Why is it looking for source code for it at all? Is it not finding one of the core jar files? Do I need to point it at something in the ant build.xml file? For testing purposes, I followed all the GWT instructions<http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/gettingstarted.html>, used webAppCreator to generate a "Hello, world." app, and that builds and runs just fine. I added a simple try...catch(NoSuchFieldError err) - and an import java.lang.NoSuchFieldError line - and it gave me the error. I'm new to this Java/GWT stuff so I suspect I'm missing something obvious - I'd love it if you could point out exactly what! :) Thanks. ===== $ ant build Buildfile: build.xml libs: javac: [javac] Compiling 1 source file to /home/nklatt/gwt-2.3.0/MyWebApp/war/WEB-INF/classes gwtc: [java] Compiling module com.mycompany.mywebapp.MyWebApp [java] Validating newly compiled units [java] [ERROR] Errors in 'file:/home/nklatt/gwt-2.3.0/MyWebApp/src/com/mycompany/mywebapp/client/MyWebApp.java' [java] [ERROR] Line 51: No source code is available for type java.lang.NoSuchFieldError; did you forget to inherit a required module?
