I have a GWT project using GWT 2.7.0 and am using maven. The app is compiling and running correctly, however, I am struggling to get GWT's Super Dev Mode to work correctly. When I start Super Dev Mode with
mvn gwt:run-codeserver
Super Dev Mode starts correctly, compiles, and the latest changes ARE shown in the browser. However, when I press the compile bookmarklet to recompile the GWT code, the recompile completes correctly and the browser refreshes but does NOT include any subsequent changes I've made to the client/GWT java files.
When starting GWT Super Dev Mode it appears to copy the source files (.java files) from src/main/java into maven's build folder (target) and it appears to be compiling from source files in the target folder rather than those in src/main/java. I've tested this by manually copying a java file I've made changes to from src/main/java into the target folder, and then hitting the compile bookmarklet. When I do this the recompile succeed as before, and the latest changes are shown.
I am assuming I have either missed some configuration that will copy src/main/java into the target folder whenever I hit the compile bookmarklet, or I have misconfigured Super Dev Mode to compile from the target folder when it should be compiling from sources in src/main java
Any help to understand how it should function and resolve this would be appreciated.
