Hi Brandon, I'm not clear why you would need to compile the sub modules independently from the main module. The GWT compiler performs a monolithic compilation for each module it compiles, therefore the submodules would be completely independent from the main module if they were compiled separately. It seems like if you want to reuse those submodules, the best way would be to reference them from your main project (linking source in Eclipse, for example), and adding the submodules to your main GWT compilation target as shown in the ant snippet.
If you have server-side classes that you want to compile separately and include in the main project, you should probably set up a build target that will javac those classes and copy them over to the main GWT project directory. The gwtc target would then be dependent on that step before being able to perform its own GWT compilation. Putting into context of your next goals, 3. would be solved by what was described in the last paragraph. 1. and 2. might not need to be explicit goals since compiling separately probably won't be of much value for what I think you're trying to do. Although I may have misundertstood the purposes for goals 1 & 2.
