[Olivier Sallou]

Package: libgwt-dev-java
Version: 2.4.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I tried to gwt compile biomaj-watcher package from embedded GWT libraries to GWT package.
I face a compilation error:

gwtc:

BUILD FAILED
/home/osallou/DEBIAN-MED/biomaj-watcher/biomaj-watcher_test_gwt/usr/share/biomaj-watcher/src/build.xml:52: Java returned: 1

I also add a library named gwt-servlet-deps.jar that I do not find in gwt package. Is it inclused in gwt-servlet?

Thanks

Olivier
