Not sure if there is some more debug points , solution ?
Tried Solution 1 (failed) : manually deleting the gwt-user-1.7.0.jar from WEB-INF\lib of the web application
Tried Solution 2 (failed) : From dependency tree i get below
[INFO] +- com.xyz.global.gxtfw:client:jar:2.0.0:compile
[INFO] | \- com.xyz.global.gxtfw:common:jar:2.0.0:compile
[INFO] | +- com.extjs:gxt:jar:2.0.1:compile
[INFO] | \- com.google.gwt:gwt-user:jar:1.7.0:compile
I tried changing the scope of com.xyz.global.gxtfw to provided , doesnt help
Tried Solution 3 (failed) : add exclusion like below
<dependency>
<groupId>com.xyz.global.gxtfw</groupId>
<artifactId>client</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
