Gradle GWT multiproject, compileGwt not finding subproject classpath - eclipse

Question

I have a multiproject GWt Gradle where the compileGwt from gradle does not find a subproject but if I use the standard Eclipse GWT plugin it compiles fine
When building through gradle I get the following error
:main:compileGwt
Loading inherited module 'com.stratebo.gwt.client.main.MainPage'
Loading inherited module 'com.stratebo.gwt.common'
[ERROR] Unable to find 'com/stratebo/gwt/common.gwt.xml' on your classpath; could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?
the project structure is as follows:
TMSRoot
|--settings.gradle
|--build.gradle
|--CommonGwt
|----build.gradle
|--main
|----build.gradle
The Tms Root settings.gradle
include "CommonGWT", "main"

And finally the Main MainPage.gwt.xml

<stylesheet src="/mytheme.cache.css" />

<inherits name="com.stratebo.gwt.common" />
<source path="client" />
<source path="common" />
</module>
any help greatly appreciated

Answer 1

I think that you you are missing the sources from your commonGWT project that you could add to your jar commonGWT build.gradle :
jar {
from sourceSets.main.allSource
}
The commonGWT jar will contain the sources that will allow the compilation of the dependent project.
