I am trying to make a GXT 3.0 starting app with Maven support. I have successfully compiled and run the native GWT application with mvn gwt:compile gwt:run command

Howeven, when I added these dependecies: 

<dependency>
 <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
 <artifactId>gxt</artifactId>
 <version>${gxt.version}</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gxt-uibinder</artifactId>
    <version>${gxt.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gxt-chart</artifactId>
    <version>${gxt.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>uibinder-bridge</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

and added this in the gwt.xml (module) file: 

<inherits name="com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT" />

I am getting this error (running the same mvn command as above):

GWT module com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT not found

And looking from the Java build path of the project in the Maven Dependencies, I can see that the GXT jars have not been downloaded.

Full pom.xml here.

BTW, for the GXT version I have this in the POM: <gxt.version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</gxt.version> - quarks

If you want the snapshot, make sure you have the repository tags for it as well, for wherever you are getting that build from. Otherwise use the latest release, 3.0.0-beta3.

If you are building your own local copies, or deploying to an internal repo, then 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT should work - make sure the jar can be found in your repo, and that you aren't running as offline.

Use these dependencies:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gwt-servlet</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gxt</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

GXT does not require uibinder-bridge anymore according to Sencha forum. All GXT uibinder features were incorporated into GWT 2.5.0 release.
