I am trying to get gwt validation working using the hibernate validator. I have followed the steps from http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/BeanValidation and configured my project according to the sample validation project at http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/samples/validation/
My .gwt.xml file contains:
<inherits name="org.hibernate.validator.HibernateValidator" />
and my custom validation factory:
<replace-with class="my.package.here.client.validation.ValidatorFactory">
<when-type-is class="javax.validation.ValidatorFactory" />
</replace-with>
Validation works perfect both on client and server side in dev mode, but when trying to gwt compile I get:
gwtc-production:

There is obviously some source jar I'm missing. I have (among others) on my classpath:
hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final.jar
hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final-sources.jar
I have also tried adding joda-time-2.1.jar, joda-time-2.1-sources.jar, jsoup-1.6.3.jar and jsoup-1.6.3-sources.jar.
Shouldn't inheriting the org.hibernate.validator.HibernateValidator take care of the super sources so I don't need to provide the sources? Can anyone see what I'm missing?
GWT is built against Hibernate Validator 4.1.0-Final and relies on some of its internals (PathImpl, NodeImpl), and apparently those have changed in Hibernate Validator 4.2.0.
Use 4.1.0-Final (or possibly 4.0.2.GA as in the sample) instead of 4.2.0.
Issue can be tracked in the GWT Tracker, we should probably at least document the incompatibility explicitly.
