"Debug as" -> Web Application (Dev or Superdev) gives error.

Error: Could not find any host pages in project myProject1.

I can add debug configuration manually, then it works just fine.

Another strange thing that main class is substituted as com.google.gwt.dev.GWTShell, though it should be com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode

Thanks for reporting and testing. Could you provide the steps you used to produce that or what are the steps I could do to replicate that?

Could you provide the project that I could use as a test case?

It's not easy, because my current projects are not open source :-(
But I've found the one, which can be used to reproduce this problem.

1. I'm using the latest Eclipse STS 3.6.4 based on Luna 4.4.2 (just FYI, don't think it's so important).
2. Clone git: https://github.com/nippur72/Dart.RayTracerDemo.git
3. Import project to Eclipse (you can safely edit 2.6.1 to 2.7.0 in pom.xml)
4. GWT Compile.
5. Right click on javaraytracerdemo -> Debug As -> Web Application (any choice Dev or Superdev)
6. Error: Could not find any host pages in project javaraytracerdemo.

To workaround the problem:
7. Debug Configuration -> Web Application (right click) -> New
8. Main class is substituted as com.google.gwt.dev.GWTShell, fix it as com.google.gwt.dev.DevMode
9. Also manually add to debug configuration -> Arguments the following: -startupUrl gwt_raytracerdemo.html
Also it could be needed to fix -war parameter there, for me it's c:\user\Documents\myworkspace\Dart.RayTracerDemo\JavaGWT.RayTracerDemo\target\javaraytracerdemo-1.0-SNAPSHOT\WEB-INF\classes

Now you are able to run this project.

Thank you for working on that. I'll take a look and see if I can squash soon.

Thank you for taking care of GPE plugin, it was kind of slow maintained before you, so I'm really happy someone started to pay attention to it, it's very important part of GWT.

There are two issues here.

1. The pom.xml gwt-maven-plugin is missing the <module/> definition.
2. The module is in src/main/resources which is also issue 66, where something is not adding this to the classpath.

<modules>
  <module>io.github.timeu.javagwtraytracerdemo.GWTRayTracerDemo</module>
</modules>

M2e default configuration for resources directory is to exclude it from the classpath, which creates a problem when the compiler is activated.

I'm going to close this bug as duplicate of Issue 66.
