Transform GWT-Project to Multi-Module Project

I am trying to transform a working single GWT-Project into several Maven-Modules. New structure should look like this:

Project
|- pom.xml
|- Project-Common(only Common-Classes)
|--- pom.xml
|--- Packaging: jar
|- Project-War(includes *gwt.xml)
|--- pom.xml
|--- Packaging: war

My files look like this(many dependencies, I think i removed the unnecessary to make my problem more clear) Project pom.xml:

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<artifactId>project</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Project - Modules</name>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <groupId>com.project</groupId>
    <artifactId>project-parent-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0</version>
    <relativePath />
</parent>
<modules>
    <module>/project-war</module>
    <module>/project-common</module>
</modules>

Project-Common pom.xml:

The old Project was in my Project-War and I added Project & Project-Common. In this setup the Project builds and I get the "new" Project-War.war . But when I move a ErrorCode.java from Project-War to Project-Common I get the following Error:

[INFO] Tracing compile failure path for type 'com.project.modules.TestViewImpl' [INFO] [ERROR] Errors in '.../project/project-war/src/main/java/com/project/modules/TestViewImpl.java' [INFO] [ERROR] Line 20: No source code is available for type com.project.errorcodes.ErrorCode; did you forget to inherit a required module? [INFO] [ERROR] Hint: Check the inheritance chain from your module; it may not be inheriting a required module or a module may not be adding its source path entries properly

Solution

  • Found a Solution:

    Added a Module in Common-Project

    <module>
 <inherits name='com.google.gwt.activity.Activity' />
 <inherits name='com.google.gwt.place.Place' />
 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.User" />
 <inherits name='com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.RequestFactory' />
 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.cellview.CellView" />
 <inherits name='com.google.gwt.logging.Logging' />
 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.inject.Inject" />
 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.text.Text" />
 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.i18n.I18N" />

 <inherits name="com.google.gwt.debug.Debug" />

 <source path="shared"/>
</module>

    any my ErrorCode.java is under Path shared/** .

    In Project-War Modules I added <inherits name="com.project.Common" /> and in pom.xml from Project-War:

    <dependency>
 <groupId>com.project</groupId>
 <artifactId>project-common</artifactId>
 <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>com.project</groupId>
 <artifactId>project-common</artifactId>
 <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 <classifier>sources</classifier>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

    Seems to need dependency with classifier in scope provided.
