I have different module.gwt.xml files in my application, every time when i do a change in one module required to compile all modules again. Is there a way to compile single module using maven.
You can setup modules to compile in pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${gwt.version}</version>
<configuration>
<!-- mode>headless</mode -->
<modules>
<module>module1</module>
<module>module2</module>
</modules>
<!-- <includes>**/*GwtTest.java</includes> -->
</configuration>
</plugin>

I am trying to reuse a assembled gwt compilation in another war. For this i am try to change the current maven module's packaging from war to pom. I then plan to use maven-assembly-plugin to zip up gwt's module js output and use that later on in another war module.
I tried changing the packaging tag from <packaging>war</packaging> to <packaging>pom</packaging> in pom.xml from Validation sample . gwt-maven-plugin never enters into compilation. Instead, it skips compilation!!!!!
What is happening?
Is this expected?
Is there any workaround?
To join multiple gwt compiled modules into a single .war file, it is very easy with the maven-dependency-plugin
Package all your gwt examples as habitual (.war), and install them mvn install or mvn deploy if you have a private maven repo.
Create an empty maven module of type war, with no code but with the maven folder structure, you can put any additional stuff you need here like a global src/main/webapp/index.html.
Configure the new module to use the maven-dependency-plugin like shown below, and run mvn package:
<dependency>
<groupId>my.group</groupId>
<artifactId>example1</artifactId>
<version>...</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack-gwt-examples</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includeGroupIds>my.group</includeGroupIds>
<includes>**/example1/**</includes>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Finally and related with the gwt-maven-plugin, like with any other maven pluging, it would be enough to select an appropriate phase of the pom-packaging life cycle (package, install or deploy):
...
<packaging>pom</packaging>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
...
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Unfortunately, gwt-maven-plugin specifically disallows compilation when packaging is pom, take a look to line #269 of CompileMojo.java
You can create the reusable modules (that you mention as samples in the comments) as separate GWT projects with no EntryPoint. Package them as jar and add the following as resources:
the client side source code
other resource items that will be necessary for the final compilation (images, xml files, etc.)
Something like this:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
...
</plugin>
</plugins>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/java</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/services/**</include>
<include>**/client/**</include>
<include>**/public/**</include>
<include>**/*.gwt.xml</include>
</includes>
</resource>
</resources>
</build>
That's it, you can reuse it in any other GWT project. When you will do so, you just have to add the dependency (to the reusable module) in the pom.xml and import in the *.gwt.xml.
As for Maven's behaviour, it seems correct. pom packaging is going through package, install and deploy phases and
By default, the compile goal is configured to be executed during the ''prepare-package'' phase to run as late as possible.
You could change the phase in the plugin's execution, but I think it's risky because you can't know when exactly during the package phase will your code get compiled.
My RCP was created on a 3.x Eclipse and is now on 4.x using the compatibility layer.
This is the setup that I have: I have two plugins: xyz-plugin and xyz-rcp-plugin. My RCP application is composed of these two plugins. I have a Test fragment (xyz-test) whose host plugin is xyz-plugin and contains SWTBot tests. My product configuration points to the application defined in the plugin.xml of xyz-rcp-plugin.
When I run the SWTBot Test via Eclipse, it all works ok. I point it to the correct application on the Main tab and it launches the correct one.
When I try to run it via Maven (using mvn integration-test), after the command to launch the UI for testing, no UI opens and it just reports saying there are test failures but it never actually even reaches the stage for testing my cases.
I feel this is happening because my test fragment only has xyz-plugin as its host and so knows its dependency but the application is actually contained in xyz-rcp-plugin so I am guessing it doesn't bring that plugin into the testing workspace. In fact, the test runs when I omit the <application> configuration in my pom file; it simple launches the default which is the Eclipse SDK.
So but how can I make the SWTBot test run my application, if the plugin with the application is not a dependency of the test plugin?
Below is my pom file for the test fragment,

Tycho does not automatically add the bundle defining the configured <application> to the test runtime - you need to manually ensure that this bundle is included.
One way to do this is to specify extra dependencies in the pom.xml of the test project. In this way, you can add bundles or even entire features (as always, including transitive dependencies) to the test runtime.
Example pom.xml snippet:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
<version>${tycho-version}</version>
<configuration>
<dependency-resolution>
<extraRequirements>

I have the widgetset compiled with the Maven goals: vaadin:update-widgetset gwt:compile. So the pom.xml and web.xml files configurations should be fine.
I'm a Maven newbie and this is my first Maven project.
After compilation the compiled code shows in src/main/webapp/VAADIN/widgetsets folder. When I try to run the install goal the error shows:
Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.2.0:resources (default) on project Validation-Manager-Web: GWT Module com.pantar.widget.graph.GraphWidget not found in project sources or resources.
Just in case here are the relevant files:

Fixed it by adding an empty gwt.xml file with this contents:

I am in the process of migrating my build from Ant to Maven. The Ant build used to compile a "code generator", execute this "code generator" which produced a set of Java and C code. It then took the generated Java code and compiled it along with some additional code produce a single jar.
I have replicated this this in Maven quite easily and it works well when I run from the command line but Eclipse is complaining and is giving me an error relating to the pom file
Failure to find {group.id}:{artifact.id}:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT in
http://{our internal site repository}/nexus/content/groups/public was
cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted
until the update interval of snapshots has elapsed or updates are
forced
where the group.id and artifact.id are the group and artifact id of my code generator plugin
and any code that references the generated code also fails to compile.
My maven build consists of
a generator project that contains just the Java code for the code generator.
a generator-plugin project that contains just the code to wrap the generator as a Maven plugin. This is dependent upon the generator project.
an xyz project that uses the plugin to generate the code. The code ends up in the target/generated-sources/xxx folder of this project. I have configured the build-helper-maven-plugin as per Maven compile with multiple src directories to include this extra source directory.
If I manually add the generated source folder to the Eclipse build path all of the errors relating to the code not being there go away on that project but not on any downstream projects and the "Failure to find..." error listed above remains.
What puzzles me a little is that it is referring to the ...:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT when in fact my generator-plugin is defined as a maven-plugin.
Is this a sensible approach?
Why am I getting a "Failure to find..." error?
Why isn't Eclipse picking up my generated-sources folders?
I should also say I have the m2e plugin and the m2e connector for build-help-maven-plugin installed in my Eclipse IDE.
It looks like a problem during the download of the lib from the repository. I already had the same error message once.
Did you take a look at your local repository?
Go to the .m2 folder and look for /nexus/content/groups/public. If the folder is there, open it and see if the lib was download correctly. If not, try to delete the folder and try to run mvn install to force the download of the lib.
At Eclipse, run Right button > Maven > Update Project too.
Are you using an local repository like Artifactory, aren't you? Also look for the lib in the repo1-cache (or similar) folder. See if the jar is there.
Are you behind any firewall or proxy?
Using eclipse Indigo3.7, this was what I found that worked good using spring 3.1.1 which does have the 3.0.6 version as well in it. Once I got the plugins setup and put into the correct area of the pom and included the argline and endorseddirs to have the java sources put out into the target/generated-sources/cxf folder then maven generated the sources ok.

I have a maven project in eclipse and have maven goals that run annotation processors to generate code. The output folder for this code is target/generated-sources/apt.
In order for Eclipse to see this generated code I need to add target/generated-sources/apt as a source folder to the Eclipse project.
However, this causes there to be an error of type "Maven Configuration Problem" saying
Project configuration is not up-to-date with pom.xml. Run project
configuration update
I think I understand why this is the case as Eclipse has a different set of source folders to Maven's set. But I need this different set, as I need Eclipse to be able to see the generated source folders...
When doing a pure Maven built, these source folders will be included in the build, by Maven.
BTW, I have upgraded to the official Eclipse release of the Maven Eclipse plugin, m2e 1.0 - what used to be m2eclipse. I'd like to see if I can find a work around/solution to this with the m2e plugin before I have to go back to the old m2eclipse version.
You need to attach the source directory with the build-helper-plugin.
Like so:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-source</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>add-source</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<sources>
<source>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/java/</source>
</sources>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
You will also need to:
Install the "Apt M2E Connector" from the Eclipse Marketplace.
To do so click the error in the Overview tab of your pom.xml and select "Discover".
Ensure there are no plugin execution filters for the build-helper-maven-plugin (see https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/documentation/m2e-execution-not-covered.html)
Right-click the Error message:
Project configuration is not up-to-date with pom.xml Run project
configuration update
in the Problems View and select Quick Fix and click Finish to select the default Update project configuration. This fixes it.
After switching to new versions of m2e/maven/apt,... i had builderrors because of the duplicated files, caused by the added buildpath by the buildhelper, so i needed to remove the "apt-generated"-Folders from the buildhelper.
To fix the Problem in Eclipse, not adding the "apt-generated"-folder via Update Maven Configuration in M2E, i've written a M2E Plugin to fix this problem. It adds the outputDirectories configured in the maven-apt-plugin to the buildpath of the Project.
https://apt-m2e.googlecode.com
In m2e 1.0 the handling of Maven plugins has changed. You might be lacking a specific m2e extension for your code generating plugin. Here is all the documentation I managed to find.
This bug report may also be relevant.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=350081
request on CXF JIRA (see 1) to add lifecycle mappings in the cxf-codegen-plugin itself. This would require m2e 1.1 but I believe it is better approach than having connectors built outside of cxf project, assuming that lifecycle mapping API would change less frequently than cxf-codegen-plugin and cxf.
You can also use the buildhelper m2e connector available in the discovery catalog. I'm using Eclipse 3.7
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Juno Service Release 1
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=gwt-maven-plugin \
-DarchetypeVersion=2.5.0
mvn clean install
work perfectly.
But in eclipse I have the same error on Asinc class.
Just press F5 on project. Fix this problem.
This was what I found that worked good using spring 3.1.1 which does have the 3.0.6 version as well in it.

In case for some reason you can't use the build helper plugin the easiest way (albeit not as convenient and somewhat tedious) I have found to deal with this is:
Separate the generated source code into its own project or sub module.
You will want to keep this project predominately closed or not imported into Eclipse when you are working on the parent project.
In the parent project that needs the generated code make sure to now depend on the generated source code project via Maven pom dependency.
When you need to update the generated code go to the generated code project and run mvn install. Now refresh the parent project by right clicking and selecting Maven->Update Project...
This generally works well for projects that use a semi static source for code generation such as SOAP WSDLs (Apache CXF) or code generated from a database (jOOQ). For APT and other AspectJ-like-code it doesn't work as well because you are editing the source frequently.
For new visitors to this question -
build helper maven plugins and m2e connectors go hand in hand. Older versions
(before 2.0) of build helpers have moved into an eclipse archive link
build helper versions archived
Pick the correct link from the list and add it as an eclipse update site. It should ask you for a bunch (seriously.. a huge bunch ) of eclipse updates . Please accept and you are good to go.
the configuration to the build helper plugin did work for us.
but be aware, that the destination folder always has to be equal to the configuration of the plugin u're using for the annotation processing itself.
for example the maven-processor-plugin uses the target folder ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/apt as default. if you wish another destination for your generated source files you can set it by the tag as shown below.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.bsc.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-processor-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>process</id>
<goals>
<goal>process</goal>
</goals>
<phase>process-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<defaultOutputDirectory>apt_generated</defaultOutputDirectory>
<processors>
<processor>com.any.processor.invoker</processor>
</processors>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
