Failing GWT compilation due to jackson-annotations

[nmorel]

Are you using JsonFormat.Value or JsonAutoDetect.Visibility.isVisible() in your project ?
I can see these errors in a sample project but only in log level info. The compilation is still working.

Hmm no, in fact I only added the maven dependency and the gwt inherits :/

[nmorel]

Well, I'll super source these annotations to get rid of the errors. The missing classes are not used directly anyway, the annotations are still usable.

Can you retry with the last 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT please ? The snapshot repository is indicated on README.

[meriouma]

Thank you for your fast answers and commits!

Well now I'm getting some other problems. It is not directly related to this library, but with the usage of gwt-jackson and restygwt together. Since the com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation package is included in gwt compilation, it seems to try to create a Serializer for com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.ObjectIdGenerators and fails there

[nmorel]

Do you have any Object property in the object you are trying to serialize ?
If you try to serialize an Object, gwt-jackson is currently a bit stupid and will try to create a serializer for all the subtype of Object (ie all the class in the classpath).

[meriouma]

Yeah that could be it, though it's hard to say because I have goda-time's code inside my project which has a lot of dtos. I've tried with another project and 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT is working perfectly, Thank you!

[nmorel]

I'm glad to hear it :)
I'll see if I can throw an exception with a clear message in case the generator encounters a java.lang.Object to serialize/deserialize.

[nmorel]

Done. In the future, it could be nice to accept Object but restrict it to basic type and maybe some configurable packages.
