OK, so, gwt:package-lib (rather than gwt:jar) is finally here in 7c4e86a

Hello,

After moving (IDE refactoring) the file certidao/CertidaoEstagioPanel.java to certificado/CertificadoEstagioPanel.java I'm getting

[INFO]    Job pt.ipb.suplemento.Suplemento_1_0
[INFO]       starting job: pt.ipb.suplemento.Suplemento_1_0
[INFO]       Compiling module pt.ipb.suplemento.Suplemento

[INFO]          [ERROR] Aborting compile due to errors in some input files

I have to manually remove the source files from target

find target/classes -type f -name CertidaoEstagioPanel\*
target/classes/pt/ipb/suplemento/client/modulos/sup/certidao/CertidaoEstagioPanel.java
target/classes/pt/ipb/suplemento/client/modulos/sup/certidao/CertidaoEstagioPanel.ui.xml

@natros - Looks like gwt-maven-plugindelegates to MavenResourceExecution.

I believe you're therefore asking for a feature request on that project to better synchronise resources, unless you can recommend a better alternative?

I don't have a good handle on why the target directory exists but it appears canonical. Probably it's necessary to support annotation processing or some such code and/or resource processing use case.

FWIW, I'm still wondering what to do with those import-sources goals, and whether I should make a gwt:jar for libraries instead of marking source directories as resource directories too. This however means I would also need to change gwt:compile and gwt:test goals to use the source directories too.

BTW, the reason it's done this way today is:

• because that's (probably) how you'd do it if the plugin didn't do it for you (i.e. declare src/mainjavaas a resources directory, and use theexec-maven-plugin` to run the GWT tools)
• because if you'd do it that way, you possibly would want to make use of resource filtering (and the plugin currently ignores source directories that have been declared as resources directories, to explicitly permit those cases); though I believe one should not work this way (you should rather use the template-maven-plugin

So, I might very well move towards a gwt:jar goal, and gwt:compile and gwt:test adding the compile source roots to the classpath; and this is BTW the main reason this plugin isn't at 1.0 yet.

Closing now as I don't think there's anything actionable in this issue thread (and blame Maven –and possibly IntelliJ here– for broken incremental builds).
