How to specify additional source folders for GWT project with Google Eclipse plugin?


My GWT project has all code in the src folder. But now I have some additional generated code which goes into a new generated folder. I have configured my Eclipse to use this additional folder, which works fine. But when I start the GWT server, the generated code is not available for the GWT client.

On my older projects (without Google Plugin), I was starting GWT with a custom Eclipse launcher configuration. There I could specify additional source folders by adding an additional <runtimeClasspathEntry> to the launcher XML file.

Additional source paths are also allowed for com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler in Ant.

But how to specify additional source folders when using the Google Eclipse Plugin?


Solution

  • If the GPE doesn't automatically update the launch configuration, you can still update it yourself, adding the generated folder to the classpath.
