Add Jar file to GWT source path?

I have some JAR file, I need to reference it from GWT Source package. How can I accomplish that? should I create module and inherit it?

Thanks

It's a bit long and complex so I'll put some checks you need to do:

  1. The jar file MUST be GWT compatible (needs to have a .gwt.xml file with an entry-point defined)
  2. You need to add an <inherits name='myExtensionFullPath' />
  3. If you use Eclipse make sure the jar file is in the "BuildPath" (/war/WEB-INF/lib is a good place)

If the Jar is not compatible with GWT, then you'll need to have it in your server side and wrap it to be called with GWT-RPC.

Hope it helps.
