First GWT Steps

Just started to work with GWT – a pretty inter­est­ing approach for web devel­op­ment com­pared to PHP or JSF. The whole Appli­ca­tion engine is quite impres­sive espe­cially allow­ing you to quickly test your appli­ca­tions locally by sup­port­ing auto­matic hot deploy­ment after each code update.
One thing that took me a while was one of that “[ERROR] Unable to find ‘[some-file].xml’ on your class­path; could be a typo, or maybe you for­got to include a class­path entry for source?” errors. If you are sure the file is in place, I real­ized restart­ing the App Engine or Eclipse mostly solves that problem.
