I'm running an ant script to build the war file. It compiles fine when the gwt-user.jar and gwt-dev.jar are in the web-inf/lib directory. However, trying to deploy that war blows tomcat up giving these errors:
INFO: validateJarFile(/home/jvm/apache-tomcat-7.0.25/domains/a.com/CLS/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-dev-2.4.0.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class Mar 10, 2013 5:54:26 PM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader validateJarFile INFO: validateJarFile(/home/jvm/apache-tomcat-7.0.25/domains/a.com/CLS/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-user-2.4.0.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
Then if I remove those files from that directory I can't build the war. My eclipse project has the jars in question on the class path as external jars. Do I reference them there maybe?
