Multiple GWT Modules

[johnrellis]

Just wondering if anyone has come across anything like this, a little bit of a long shot I think.

I have a grails plugin that contains a GWT module, I would like to reference the GWT code in the plugin from a GWT in the parent project.

Does anybody know if this is even possible?

I have tried a few permutations but I cannot get the parent projects gwt.xml to reference the module in the plugin project at all.

What I thought I could do was :

Plugin

---- com.john.Plugin.gwt.xml

ParentProject

-- com.other.Main.gwt.xml

              --- inherit com.john.Plugin

But the GWT compiler is complaining that com.john.Plugin.gwt.xml is not on the classpath.

Many thanks in advance!

OK, so what was confusing was that this seemed to work for the gwt plugin and the DTO plugin and the Grails xml.gwt.

Turns out these directories are added manually in _GwtInternal.groovy

// Add the plugin's module paths.

            pathElement(location: "${gwtPluginDir}/${gwtSrcPath}")

            pathElement(location: "${gwtPluginDir}/${grailsSrcPath}")

So in theory it looks like i can add something like

            pathElement(location: "path to plugin /src/gwt")

            pathElement(location: " path to plugin  /src/java")

Obviously not scalable but worth testing at the minute.  I'll reply with a scalable solution if this actually bears fruit.... mmm

You might want to bring this up on the grails-gwt Google group too.
