GWT JSON overlay generator

The GWT JSON overlay generator project enables one to automatically generate overlay classes which wrap JavaScript objects in a Java model. The overlay classes are compatible with GWT and allow the creation of unit tests in a JVM environment.

Installation

You will need to include gwt-json-overlay-annotations-x.y.z.jar in your build classpath at compile time, gwt-json-overlay-runtime-x.y.z.jar to the classpath at runtime and add gwt-json-overlay--processor-x.y.z.jar to the annotation path in order to activate the annotation processor and generate the overlay implementations.

Maven

In a Maven project, include the gwt-json-overlay-annotations and gwt-json-overlay-runtime artifacts in the dependencies section of your pom.xml and the gwt-json-overlay-processor artifact as an annotationProcessorPaths value of the maven-compiler-plugin:
