GWT Reset Cleared *.cache.html file

Question

I was working on fixing a bug in my GWT+GAE application. I kept trying to make changes and the bug persisted. So I decided to try changing a text message in a debug statement and noticed that the text didn't change. I assumed this was because something was being cached. So I cleared everything I could think of (clear brower's history, rebuild the entire project, rebooted my computer, Eclipse -> Project -> Clean...). Finally I gave up and searched for the text to see where it was hiding. I found it in a .cache.html file so I deleted that file. Now when I run the project, I get the following message:

[WARN] No file found for: /catserve/F0262AF37428E46FCD5FC373EED66DA6.cache.html

And the application just shows a blank webpage even after trying everything I can think of to clear the project before and after deleting the file.

How do I reset everything?

Thanks.

I had the same problem. Simple text changes weren't being reflected in the browser, even after a complete reboot.

To solve the issue, "GWT Compile Project..." directly, via the Google menu (in the toolbar).

I thought that Hosted Mode would address this issue, but it appears that things can get out of sync from time to time. After compiling directly, things began working again -- simple changes could be seen in the browser after saving the code, waiting for the auto-compile, and reloading the page.
