Hi Sayhi,

After a little investigating, I 've found the root cause of the problem why compeSourceArtifact didn't work for gwt:run:
  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MGWT-266
and created a patch to fix it in the gwt-maven-plugin itself.
Please vote for the issue :)
Hopefully it makes the 2.2.1 release of the plugin and then I 'll upgrade our gwt plugin version immediately after.

I don't want to litter the production jars with sources because that will make IntelliJ and Eclipse confused (you 'll find everything twice).

Thank you for bringing the problem to our attention and the patch to prove it's indeed a problem :)

Hi Sayhi,

Thank you, great work :)

I am migrating the patch to master, since 5.2.0.M2 will be slated from master.

In the guvnor-webapp pom (renamed from drools-guvnor) on master, I do have 2 notable things:

      <plugin>
        <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.0-1</version>
        <configuration>
          ...
          <compileSourcesArtifacts>
            <compileSourcesArtifact>org.drools:droolsjbpm-ide-common</compileSourcesArtifact>
          </compileSourcesArtifacts>
          ...
        </configuration>

That should make it work without including the java files in the normal jar (which is against maven guidelines, and which is also bloat).
one of the rules for developing gwt libraries is that when packaged, classes that reside in the client package (i.e. those that will be used in client code of projets using the library) should have their sources packaged with them.
Yes, it was. But there's been some discussion (and an issue, probably fixed for 2.1 or 2.1.1 IIRC) that states that the gwt libraries deployed to the maven repository should follow maven conventions and separate jars and source-jars, so Intellij, Eclipse, Netbeans and the rest of the maven ecosystem can find and deal with the sources too.

Anyway, gwt:run should work and I 'll apply your patch if it doesn't.
Thanks again.

Hi Geoffrey,

I've fixed all things you've talked about and I've some remarks:

Hi Sayhi,

Thanks for noticing this issue and creating a patch.

Unfortunately I cannot accept and apply this patch because:
- By changing the build resources to only include src/main/resources/**/*.gwt.xml, it breaks the backend which needs other resources out of src/main/resources.

Fixed : you're right !
 
- By changing the build resources to include the java files from src/main/java, it clutters the deployed jars and dirties the build (those things are in source jars already).

Maintained: 
Projects "drools-factconstraint" and "drools-ide-common" are seen as gwt libraries by "drools-guvnor", one of the rules for developing gwt libraries is that when packaged, classes that reside in the client package (i.e. those that will be used in client code of projets using the library) should have their sources packaged with them. The reason for this is that sources should be available on the classpath for the gwt compiler.

You can check this in gwt-user.jar itself :

And in the famous library Ext GWT :
 
- It's stale when compared to master on https://github.com/droolsjbpm/guvnor
-- drools-factconstraints has been removed some time already on master
-- droolsjbpm-ide-common is ne

This patch is intended for "origin/5.2.0.M1.x" branch, not for master.
 
- The changes are obfuscated with style changes that do not follow our guidelines.
-- See README https://github.com/droolsjbpm/droolsjbpm-build-bootstrap
--- More specifically about indentation


Fixed: sorry for that :) I'm using your cleaning and formatting settings now.
 
I believe a much better way to deal with the gwt:run problem is to fix this issue:
  https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GUVNOR-1196

You don't really think it is needed to do All that in order to run the guvnor project with maven.
 

But that's stuck on the fact that I don't know if and how intellij/eclipse can deal with hosted mode in that structure.
Any experiments and data to answer that question will help that issue forward.

I attached a patch (fixed one :)) to this e-mail for those who are using branch 5.2.0.M1.x and need to run the guvnor project in hosted mode with maven.

P.S. sorry for the previous e-mail, it was incomplete.

Sounds really cool.. if you can help to get maven working better for the project I think that the dev team will highly appreciate that.
Greetings.

Hi everybody,

I checked Drools 5.2.0.M1.x sources yesterday in order to look with more insight to Guvnor internals.

I built the whole project with Maven and that was ok.

But when I tried to run Guvnor with Maven (mvn gwt:run) I was surprised to see that the Maven config do not allow that, I get a lot of errors !

Thankfully I fixed that (after a hard night) and I want to contribute with that Maven config fix.

Are you interested ?

By the way, I've already been Maven maintainer of an open source project on sourceforge, Gilead. And I can help you in the future for anything related to Maven.
