GWT Compilation Error - IncompatibleClassChangeError

Question

When compiling the project, I get this obscure Exception

Looking for precompiled archives.  To disable, use -Dgwt.usearchives=false
Loading archived module: jar:         


        

Answer 1

In my case I had to exclude an asm artefact coming from a hibernate validator library so you should be fine excluding any asm artefact in your maven configs for your gwt module.
