Problems compiling in a version 7 development environment

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

In step 7 of the Starting Vaadin 7 Development
document
 it says this:


“You should also define the gwt.lib.dir build parameter to point to the directory containing these files (if using the GWT projects, …/trunk/build/lib).”

What is a “build parameter” in this context? It seems to be what I’m missing because the build fails when it can’t find gwt-dev.jar, which is in trunk/build/lib.

You can set it with -Dxyz=abc for Ant or in Eclipse Ant launch configuration on the Properties tab.

I used to Environment tab in Edit configuration and Launch, and it worked. I set the variable to gwt.lib.dir and the value (in my case) to trunk/build/lib.

Thanks.
