Re: Recovering the source
Thanks for the responses. Rather a bummer but not unexpected. Maybe I can talk them into rebuilding with GWT because we do have most of the back-end logic available in the decompiled class files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Recovering the source
I don't have much hope for this but is there any way to recover something reasonably approaching the original source of a GWT project given the generated class, html, JavaScript, etc files? A client has given us the generated web application but does not have access to the original source and the original developers are unavailable. (Yes, this makes me nervous and, no, I don't know the full circumstances, but I'm not the one calling the shots here.) If we can get it to a working state, we will probably continue pressing on with it as a GWT application. Otherwise, we will write it from scratch which means back to the PHP dungeon for me. I have played around with decompiling the class files but I suspect a significant chunk of the client code remains hiding in the JavaScript, is that correct? How difficult will that be to replicate? Can anyone offer some hope here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: No source code is available for type java.lang.NoSuchFieldError
Thanks for the idea - right now I'm strictly command-line (on a remote server) but I'll add this to my list of Reasons to Develop on My Local Machine with a GUI. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

No source code is available for type java.lang.NoSuchFieldError
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 instructionshttp://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?
