Debugging java file compiling (using gwt) - java

I was asked in a precedent question to be more precise about my compilation error message. Here's the fact : I know nothing about GWT and Java. Following the docs, I tried to compile Java files from a web project that had been precedently developed using GWT. So, to test and understand how all this work, I took the java folder (that had been precedently compiled with an appropriate tool)
into src folder of a web app project in my ide Eclipse
When running the compiler using the command GWT Compile, I had this message error :
Compiling module java.org.primagora
Validating newly compiled units
Ignored 5 units with compilation errors in first pass.
Compile with -strict or with -logLevel set to TRACE or DEBUG to see all errors.
Finding entry point classes
[ERROR] Unable to find type 'org.client.primagoraEntryPoint'
[ERROR] Hint: Check that the type name 'org.client.primagoraEntryPoint' is really what you meant
[ERROR] Hint: Check that your classpath includes all required source roots
When I look at the error on the file, for example java.org.client.primagoraEntryPoint, I find an error when it is declared "package org.client" at the very beginning of the file. There seem to be an error path. I thought the java folder I took would be correctly implemented in Eclipse.
Is that clearly a file path problem ? How should I debugg it ? (I reallly know nothing about gwt, java , eclipse)
Best,

Where is your GWT module file (i.e. a file that ends in .gwt.xml), and what are its contents? The package you list for your entrypoint is org.client, and the full name is org.client.primagoraEntryPoint, suggesting that there is a file in org/client/primagoraEntryPoint.java. By default, module files include the client package relative to them as source, so if the file is in the wrong location, this won't work correctly.
Based on this, your module file should be in the org package:
src/
org/
SampleModule.gwt.xml
client/
primagoraEntryPoint.java
From the very beginning of your error, you list java.org.primagora as the module:
Compiling module java.org.primagora
This suggests the following structure:
src/
org/
client/
primagoraEntryPoint.java
java/
org/
primagora.gwt.xml
This doesn't make sense, since GWT is now looking for a java.org.client package instead of a org.client package. Try using the package setup mentioned earlier here.
A better option might be to pick an existing working project, like what the GWT plugin for Eclipse will create, or one of the samples in the GWT download.

Compiling application with Tika with Java 13 - problems loading modules

I'm trying to migrate a Java application that uses Tika from OracleJDK 1.8 to OPenJDK 13.
My IDE is Eclipse.
I have created the file module-info.java to indicate the required modules for my application.
In order to be able to use Tika classes such as AbstractParser, Detector, etc., I have added requires org.apache.tika.core; in module-info.java.
My code also uses the class org.apache.tika.parser.pdf.PDFParserConfig to extract embedded images:
PDFParserConfig pdfConfig = new PDFParserConfig();
pdfConfig.setExtractInlineImages(true);
context.set(PDFParserConfig.class, pdfConfig);'
I get the compilation error:
PDFParserConfig cannot be resolved to a type
Eclipse suggests to add requires org.apache.tika.parsers; to module-info.java: Eclipse suggestion screenshot.
When I add this module requirement to module-info.java, the application compiles properly.
That is, at this stage we have included in module-info.java:
module myapp {
/** others ... */
requires org.apache.tika.core;
requires org.apache.tika.parsers;
}
However, when trying to execute the compiled application, we get the error:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Unable to derive module descriptor for C:\Users\Admin\.m2\repository\org\apache\tika\tika-parsers\1.24\tika-parsers-1.24.jar
Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: Provider class org.apache.tika.parser.onenote.OneNoteParser not in module
Inspecting the project Libraries in Eclipse, I can see that tika-core and tika-parsers (v1.24) are both modular: Eclipse Java Build Path
In conclusion: If I don't add org.apache.tika.parsers as a required module, the application won't compile, and if I add it I get the runtime error saying org.apache.tika.parser.onenote.OneNoteParser is not in the module.
I have inspected the JAR files for these packages to see the dependencies they have. The core packages seems to be right:
$ jar --file=tika-core-1.24.jar --describe-module
No module descriptor found. Derived automatic module.
org.apache.tika.core#1.24 automatic
requires java.base mandated
contains org.apache.tika
contains org.apache.tika.concurrent
contains org.apache.tika.config
contains org.apache.tika.detect
contains org.apache.tika.embedder
contains org.apache.tika.exception
contains org.apache.tika.extractor
contains org.apache.tika.fork
contains org.apache.tika.io
contains org.apache.tika.language
contains org.apache.tika.language.detect
contains org.apache.tika.language.translate
contains org.apache.tika.metadata
contains org.apache.tika.mime
contains org.apache.tika.parser
contains org.apache.tika.parser.digest
contains org.apache.tika.parser.external
contains org.apache.tika.sax
contains org.apache.tika.sax.xpath
contains org.apache.tika.utils
...but the 'parsers' jar gives an error:
$ jar --file=tika-parsers-1.24.jar --describe-module
Unable to derive module descriptor for: tika-parsers-1.24.jar
Provider class org.apache.tika.parser.onenote.OneNoteParser not in module
Does this mean the jar package for parsers is not well formed?
Is there any workaround for this?
Thank you.
EDIT:
If I try with version 1.24.1, I get the execution error:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Unable to derive module descriptor for C:\Users\Admin\.m2\repository\org\apache\tika\tika-parsers\1.24.1\tika-parsers-1.24.1.jar
Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: Provider class org.apache.tika.parser.external.CompositeExternalParser not in module
That is: the failing class is CompositeExternalParser instead of OneNoreParser.
Inspecting META-INF/services/org.apache.tika.parser.Parser of tika-parsers-1.42.1.jarI can see the entryorg.apache.tika.parser.external.CompositeExternalParser` but the package does not contain this class.
So, it seems to be an error in this META-INF file. Id this due to an error when compiling the package and submitting it to Maven Central?
I've found a JIRA issue, TIKA-2929, where they say "Apache Tika needs to be on the Java Classpath, not the module path". I've tried this, but, as explained before, I get a compilation error if I don't add it to the module path and set requires org.apache.tika.parsers;.
This is a hard puzzle...
Ran into the same issues.
Also found the faulty entries in
org.apache.tika.parser.Parser (and also org.apache.tika.parser.Detector) in META-INF/services/
A quick fix is to ...
Unpack those files
delete the lines that seem to reference non existing classes
pack them back into the jar
My project compiled after that.
For sure no longterm solution, but since even older versions i tried ran into that problem, it might help out some people.

Specifying a forward lookup jar in ant file

I need some help in compiling my java project through an ANT file.
Lets there are five subproject in my complete project.
Each subproject has its own ant file to compile it.
for example:
subprojectA
subprojectB
subprojectC
subprojectD
subprojectE
Now the situation is :
I am using some classes of "subprojectC" in "subprojectA" but as my compilation sequence is 1,2 3,4,5, I am getting error as class can not be resolved while compiling subprojectA.
So, the question is, is it possible to somehoe specify or tell ANT file of "subprojectA" that these classes will be present in future in suppose jarx.
I am looking some kind of forward lookup in ant file.
Thank You

Globs in sonar-project.properties

I'm working on a large legacy project that I'm trying to componentize, starting with SonarQube. I'm configuring a multi-module project in sonar-project.properties. This works fine. However, I have an issue precisely identifying source folders.
Unfortunately, our modules aren't neatly separated in the file system. The project is separated into many Eclipse projects, and several Eclipse projects together form one module. I can, of course, enumerate all the projects, but this is very cumbersome as there are a lot of them. Here's a (simplified) version of our directory structure:
projects/
moduleAsubmodule1/
src/
com/mycompany/moduleA/submodule1/
moduleAsubmodule2/
src/
com/mycompany/moduleA/submodule2/
moduleBsubmodule1/
src/
com/mycompany/moduleB/submodule1/
moduleBsubmodule2/
src/
com/mycompany/moduleB/submodule2/
moduleBsubmodule3/
src/
com/mycompany/moduleB/submodule3/
Imagine many more modules and submodules, where the project name is concatenated, but the package names are nicely divided, making it much easier to differentiate on those.
moduleA.sonar.projectBaseDir=.
moduleA.sonar.sources=projects/**/src/com/mycompany/moduleA/**/*
moduleA.sonar.test=projects/**/*.test/src/com/mycompany/moduleA/**/*
According to the documentation, this should be possible for exclusions. However, I get the following error message:
16:10:44 ERROR: Unable to execute Sonar
16:10:44 ERROR: Caused by: The folder 'projects/**/src/com/mycompany/mymodule/**/*' does not exist for 'XXX:XXX:mymodule' (base directory = D:\XxxSonar\.)
So I guess globs don't work for sources? If that's indeed the case, what can I do?
We use SonarQube 4.1.2.
I had the same issue, but I solved it by doing like this:
sonar.sources=.
sonar.inclusions=projects/*/src/**/*
The inclusions/exclusions properties support wildcards. Same for your tests:
sonar.test.inclusions=projects/*/*.test/src/**/*
Wildcards are not allowed when specifying "sonar.sources". Instead, you should play with the properties that allow to narrow your source and test files. See the documentation page on how to include or exclude files to narrow the focus.

Grails 2.1.1 - How to develop a plugin with an AstTransformer?

I want to replace the auto injected log object, which is of type org.apache.commons.logging.Log with an object of type org.slf4j.Logger, so that I can use it properly with Logback.
Therefore I need to create a ...Transformer class (written in Java) - that's what I got from Graeme Rocher over at the "grails-user" mailing list. I'm also aware that I have to pack this ...Transformer class within a plugin and make it a *.jar archive which I can load within the lib/ folder of the plugin. But I guess I'm doing something wrong here as I have the class, along with a META-INF folder which contains the MANIFEST.MF file as well as another folder services which holds the following file org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation which holds just one String: the canonical name of the ...Transformer class.
Now, if I try to do a grails clean everything is fine, BUT if I try to run grails package-plugin the console comes up with a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
Clipping from Stacktrace:
| Packaging Grails application...
| Error Fatal error during compilation org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Could not instantiate global transform class my.package.ast.LoggingTransformation specified at jar:file:/C:/Source/MyGrailsAST/lib/replace-logging-logback-ast.jar!/META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation because of exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: my.package.ast.LoggingTransformation
1 error
org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Could not instantiate global transform class my.package.ast.LoggingTransformation specified at jar:file:/C:/Source/MyGrailsAST/lib/replace-logging-logback-ast.jar!/META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation because of exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: my.package.ast.LoggingTransformation
Does anybody have some experience with Grails plugins which handle with AstTransformer and could give me some advice on this? Is there a good tutorial out there which I haven't seen so far?
Please let me know ;)
so, after some research, browsing and finally asking at the Grails Mailing List (see the mailing list archives at: http://grails.1312388.n4.nabble.com/Grails-user-f1312389.html I found a solution.
my goal was to create a Globals ASTTransformation, to inject a org.slf4j.Logger object instead of the usual org.apache.commons.logging.Log object into every Artefact class without annotation.
so, here are the steps:
I created Java class similar to https://github.com/grails/grails-core/blob/master/grails-logging/src/main/groovy/org/codehaus/groovy/grails/compiler/logging/LoggingTransformer.java but with my own implementation of the org.slf4j.Logger object. It is crucial that you place the Java.class under the following package: org.codehaus.groovy.grails.compiler as
Grails scans for classes that are annotated with #AstTransformer in this package. (Graeme Rocher)
and pack it into a JAR along with its MANIFEST.MF file within the META-INF/ folder. A META-INF/services directory with all its stuff is not needed as Graeme Rocher stated:
You do not need the META-INF/services stuff and I would remove it as it is probably complicating matters.
So, I guess this statement was more related to my specific problem as I only have one #AstTransformer class within my plugin, but that's just a guess. And I haven't searched for further informations on this topic. Maybe some other developer here who needs this could do some research and share his solution within this thread...
The JAR should be imported to the plugin and placed under the lib/ directory. After this you should be able to do grails clean, grails compile and grails package-plugin.
If you want to replace the log implementation, as I did, you should exclude the grails-logging and grails-plugin-log4j JARs from your designated project's classpath. This is done in the BuildConfig.groovy file:
inherits("global") {
excludes "grails-plugin-log4j", "grails-logging"
}
Now install your plugin grails install-plugin \path\to\plugin.zip and everthing should work as expected.
Hope this helps...

GWT super-source gives unable to resolve class java/lang/Object in development mode

I am trying to emulate some java.lang and java.io classes, e.g. OutputStream within GWT.
I have created a "super" package in my module and referenced it using super-source.
My package structure looks like
com/example/gwt/client
com/example/gwt/server
com/example/gwt/shared
com/example/gwt/super
com/example/gwt/super/java/io/OutputStream.java
com/example/gwt/mymodule.get.xml
and mymodule.xml contains an entry
<super-source path="super" />
Within Eclipse all of the files within the super folder are in error - to be expected because the package structure is wrong. .class files are being generated in the WEB-INF/classes folder, again with the "wrong" package structure so should be ignored.
When I run my application in development mode I get lots of
unable to resolve class java/lang/Object
errors. What am I doing wrong?
Rename ....get.xml to ....gwt.xml?
You can exclude "super" from the eclipse build path.
Try right-clicking or the build path menu exclusion options..
There was nothing wrong with the approach - just the execution.
I had compile errors in the emulated classes which were being masked by the fact that Eclipse was showing errors because of the "incorrect" package structure. Running the compiler from within Eclipse flushed these out.
It also seems that deleting the gwt-unitCache might have helped. As I was moving code around it seems that there were stale entries in here that were still being referenced.
