Answer 2

Whenever you change the GWT version you have to clean your project from the stub that is auto-generated by the previous GWT version as shown in below screenshots.

Problem: The file war\WEB-INF\lib\gwt-servlet.jar has a different size than GWT SDK library gwt-servlet.jar; perhaps it is a different version?

Solution: The problem in your case is gwt-servlet.jar that is auto-generated by previous GWT version. Just delete it along with other stub and re-compile project again.

Answer 3

To copy the sdk in the plugin directory is not the corret way to add another SDK version.

Use Preferences -> Google -> Web Toolkit to add another GWT SDK version.

In your project choose:

project properties -> Goolge -> Web Toolkit you can choose the SDK the project should use.

Answer 4

This works for me very well

Select the warning, right click and choose "Quick fix" -> "Synchronize /WEB-INF/lib with SDK libraries"

"Done"
