Unable to compile GWT-Frontend

[jorseng]

Hi All,

I have checkout the source code from github for OpenKM Community 6.3.4 version.
While i was able to export a workable OpenKM.war through the terminal command
$ mvn clean compile install

I am not able to build it in eclipse itself with the following steps:
1. Right click project "openkm"
2. Select "run-as"
3. Select "maven build..."
4. Goal set "clean gwt:compile install"
5. Set VM argument "-Xss1024k"
6. Apply & Run

I receive the following erorrlog:

Code: Select all

While i did notice the module com.openkmfrontend.Main does not look right.
But i have searched in eclipse for "openkmfrontend", there is nothing like that.

Please tell me how can i fix this error.

Is quite strange this error the com.openkmfrontend.Main should be com.openkm.frontend.Main. I do not know from where is getting the other ?
Anyway I tested lates openkm code from gihub and it goes right with this commad line:
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean compile gwt:compile

I suggest remove the last parameter "install" what I think does not have sense in your scenario.

Also I do not know why are you only compiling the GWT, might be you are interested in debug https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/view/ok ... rinterface

Hi jjlort,

Thanks for your reply! Really appreciate your response, I have been trying to solve this for days!

I am sorry if my explanation is confusing.

As I was trying to deploy it inside eclipse itself, and somehow i received an error 404 page when I login to OpenKM. In one of the threads mentioned that the frontend was not compiled. Thus i end up trying to compile just the gwt-frontend.

Here is an update of what i did to generate the initial error encounter:
1. I re-ran maven build with Goal "clean compile" and the build is successful.
2. started server in eclipse. (tomcat version is the openkm version, not clean tomcat)

Here is the error page after login:

Let me know i should create a new thread for the above

Forget this kind of magic, GWT is so special to get running from Eclipse in this manner, you can debug with tomcat started with GWT tools.

Thanks! I'll find out how to use the debugging tool.
