Re: Newbie question - adding GWT to my existing application
Suri, Let's take it one step at a time. The first problem is your source directive. It should look like this: source path=./ The path is the folder at the root of a hierarchy, not a single file. Since your path was defective, the Client1 source was not found, and that caused the import statement to fail the compile. The rest of the diagnostics you can just ignore. As for you later question, GWT does need the Java source (and does not need the .class files). GWT does have a limitation that inherited source needs to be packaged for inheritance. You can't just throw arbitrary jars at a GWT compile the way you can in actual Java. That's because of the limitations inherent in compiling to Javascript.
