GWT and Inherited Modules - maven

Question

I know there are a lot of similar questions out there regarding this issue but none of them have helped me. I think it could be because of my relative skill level with maven and gwt, but I'd like to ask for help.
I am currently getting this error:
It goes on for every single class file listed in the com.server package that I have.
Below is the pjg.gwt.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
When updating your version of GWT, you should also update this DTD
reference,

capabilities.

"https://www.gwtproject.org/doctype/2.9.0/gwt-module.dtd">

<inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>

</module>
And here is my pom.xml:

I believe there is just an issue with the declaration in either the pom or the gwt.xml file but I can't seem to figure it out. I have my declared source paths in the gwt.xml and I believe I have everything I need in the pom.xml. My only other thought is that there might be something mislabeled/titled? Really unsure at this point and figure another set of eyes would be a help.
Is there anything obvious I am missing?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your code is using the SmartGWT library, so it needs to be declared in your module (.gwt.xml) file, like so:
<inherits name='com.smartgwt.SmartGwt' />
You might to check the SmartGwt documentation for your version, to make sure that this is still the correct entry point.
