Getting Guava to work in GWT

I cannot get Guava to work with GWT. I am using Eclipse, I added both paths guava-11.0.2.jar

and guava-gwt-11.0.2.jar

in my classpath, inherited the module com.google.common.collect.Collect

in my file gwt.xml

, but still can't get it to work.

It compiles, but when I run it many errors appear. Many of them refer to the undecidable annotationjavax.annotation.Nullable

I tried adding jsr305.jar

to my classpath but nothing got in the way.

Also some errors appear depending on which version of Guava I include (tried with 11.0.2, 11.0.1, 10.0.1) and if I include or not jsr305.jar

Some examples of these errors:

  • The type PersonActivity.PersonFilterPredicate

    must implement an inherited abstract methodPredicate<PersonRoleProxy>.apply(Object)

  • Method compare(T, T)

    in type is Ordering<T>

    not valid for arguments(Object, Object)

This is rather strange because the compilation of the code and such an error appear at compile time.

We are confused by the inability to figure out a solution to the problem @Nullable

, which we consider to be a GWT problem. You can follow http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/issues/detail?id=776 We are trying to get help from the GWT team but things have been a little crazy lately for people who are working from the side of interest us a compiler. It looks like you can fix the problem by removing -strict

GWT compilation from your arguments, but of course this is a terrible workaround.

Experience from other users suggests that the strange other errors you see are related to the problem @Nullable

, although I haven't seen definitive confirmation. You can also confirm that all of your imports com.google.common.*

, notcom.google.gwt.thirdparty.guava.common.*



Sorry for all the problems. It is currently one of the few large thorns on our side.

The following workaround works for GWT 2.4.0 with

  • Guava 14.0 RC1 and
  • jsr305-1.3.9.jar

Create a file named Annotation.gwt.xml with the following content:

<module>
  <source path=""/>
</module>


In the jsr305-1.3.9.jar archive, copy this file to the javax / annotation subdirectory.

Add the following line to your applications: .gwt.xml:

  <inherits name='javax.annotation.Annotation'/>
