gwt-maven-plugin: Compile fails “with status 1”

Question

I\'ve been working on a GWT project for a while, and I believe since I\'ve added new dependencies, I get the error below.

Failed to execute goal org.codeh

Answer 1

I faced similar issue when MVN building a Vaadin project in Cygwyn 32-bit version. But when I switched to Cygwyn 64-bit this issue is resolved.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.vaadin:vaadin-maven-plugin:7.7.2:compile (default) on project vaadin-app: Command [[
...
[ERROR] ]] failed with status 1

Answer 2

I ran mvn package -X and found the following errors

[INFO] [ERROR] Errors in 'gwtupload/client/DecoratedFileUpload.java' [INFO] [ERROR] Line 371: Rebind result 'gwtupload.client.DecoratedFileUpload.DecoratedFileUploadImpl' cannot be abstract

So I updated the dependency gwtupload to a newer version which resolved my problem.

The reason I had ignored this error in a previous attempt, was that mvn package was successful before, using this dependency in this specific version. So I thought this error must have always been there, still leading to a successful package.
