Re: No Source code is available for type client.Utilityt, did you forget to inherit a required module?

I ran into this sort of a problem today. I followed the steps from TONS of articles, tutorials, guides, and posts. But none worked!

Here was the final solution after hours of banging my head:

I was using the source path tag wrong in gwt.xml in my external jar:

WRONG:

<source path='auto.dto'/>

RIGHT:

<source path='auto/dto'/>

None of the other guides covered the possibility of only including a sub-dir of your module as translatable code, so I didn't find an example of how this path should be formatted. But I should have realized that it was a path and not a package name, duh!

See http://www.gwtapps.com/doc/html/com.google.gwt.doc.DeveloperGuide.Fundamentals.Modules.ModuleXml.html,
specifically the <source> tag.

I would suggest you create a separate module for your utility code.
The generated JAR should contain:

org/example/utils/Code.java
org/example/utils/Code.class
org/example/Utilities.gwt.xml

Where Utilities.gwt.xml has

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE module
  PUBLIC "-//Google Inc.//DTD Google Web Toolkit 2.0.1//EN"
  "http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.0.1/distro-source/core/src/gwt-module.dtd"
>
<module rename-to="Utilities">
  <inherits name="com.google.gwt.core.Core"/>
  <source path="utils"/>
</module>

Then you can use <inherits name="org.example.Utilities"/> to use your
utility code in other modules.
