Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11
Ralph, thanks very much for your suggestion. I'll look into more of the approach to convert our gwt project to maven project. BTW, I've found the solution to make the GWT plugin work again in my laptop to compile the GWT project. I came across the following post when searching for the error related to webappcreator. After I removed the "classpath" system variable from my new laptop and moved the GWT SDK to the top of the build path, the GWT Compiler starts working to compile the GWT project. https://topic.alibabacloud.com/a/exception-invocation-of-font-colorredcomfont-font-colorredgooglefont-gwt-user-font-colorredtoolsfont-webappcreator-failed-see-the-error-log-for-more-details_8_8_31771273.html Cheers , Jenny On Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at 12:45:24 PM UTC-5 Ralph Fiergolla wrote: > > It should not be that hard actually: you probably have separated client, > shared and server side classes following the standard package naming > convention.

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11
It should not be that hard actually: you probably have separated client, shared and server side classes following the standard package naming convention. That is, basically it will be sufficient to copy your source code to the according client/shared/server sub projects and you are done. Okay, devil is in the details, but I did the same with some legacy project and happily live ever after. Give it a try. Definitely better than spending more time on installing different eclipse versions and plug-ins.

Re: GWT compilation error with JDK 11
Ralph, Thanks for your suggestion. However, one of our GWT project in production was developed long time ago and has very big codebase. I'm not sure how hard to convert it to Maven oriented project. It seems that we have to do lots of code refactoring in order to separate client side and server side code and other configuraitons. thanks, Jenny On Monday, July 10, 2023 at 11:59:01 PM UTC-5 Ralph Fiergolla wrote: > Hi Jenny! > With all these issues related to out-dated Eclipse plug-ins I would > strongly suggest switching to the new GWT Maven plug-in instead.
