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.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.6.1:compile (default) on project project: Command [[

/bin/sh -c /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java -Xmx512m -classpath /home/user/git/project/target/project-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/classes:/home/user/.m2/repository/A.jar:/home/user/.m2/repository/B.jar:... a lot more dependencies ... com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler -logLevel INFO -style OBF -war /home/user/git/project/target/project-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -localWorkers 1 -XfragmentCount -1 -sourceLevel 1.6 -gen /home/user/git/project/target/.generated my.project.Project

1. When I run the command given in the error on Windows 7 I get "The input is too long".
2. When I run the command on Ubuntu, no errors shown. echo $? however shows the returned status of 1.

The stacktrace given by mvn package -X looks like

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
