GWT Module XXX not found in project sources or resources.

Problem

After adding a dependency to a GWT module, which is declared as Maven dependency, GWT Maven plugin does not compile correctly.

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] GWT Module org.restlet.Restlet not found in project sources or resources. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution

The solution in this case was rather simple. The module name was not correct (it was org.restlet.gwt.GWT).

However, other causes might be: - an old version of the GWT Maven plugin - in that case make sure to use the 1.3-SNAPSHOT or 1.3.1.google versions - the jar archive downloaded from the Maven repository might not include *.java sources. In this case a better version for this JAR must be found. The compileSourcesArtifacts might also help (Writing a GWT Library; Maven plugin documentation compileSourcesArtifacts)
