From time to time, I have seen the simple but annoying message.
As I am busy working on many things I forgot what the resolution was and again, spent 1/2 an hour resolving the issue.
You may find this error when using Maven and GWT. Essentially, the GWT SDK Library shows up as a Classpath Container. "GWT SDK [2.4.0]" or similar.
The cause is because Eclipse locates the "gwt-*" libraries in your "Referenced Libraries" set, before it sees the actual Eclipse "GWT SDK [...]" reference.
The error message occurs when theses other GWT libraries are in your classpath, in this case the "referenced" libraries section; especially before the GWT one.
There are two fixes for this
1. Move the GWT SDK to the top
Move the GWT SDK "Classpath" Entry Container above your "Libraries" where GWT is found. The Google Eclipse Plugin finds the SDK based GWT Library first and all is well. To move it, manually edit the .classpath file and move the classpathentry line to the top.
2. Exclude the other GWT Libraries from your classpath.
If you are using maven, you'll know that the Maven Eclipse Plugin can't specify the order of classpath references in the .classpath file.
The trick then is to "exclude" the gwt-dev, gwt-user jars from the generated .classpath file, which you can do in the pom.xml. This way, ONLY the GWT libaries in the Eclipse GWT Container are the ones seen by the Google Eclipse Plugin and it all works well. Note also I have the GWT ClasspathContainer for GWT in there, so when I DO regenerate the .classpath and .project files, I don't have to regenerate things.
The example pom.xml is as follows:
I hope that helps you.
GWT SDK Not Installedthe error message is annoying because I "have" it installed, which means, not so much "not installed", but more "not detected" by the Google Eclipse Plugin.
