Ok, so now I have some idea of how the <source/> element works. I've gone a little further and I have created a jar file with gwt.Patient (both source and class files). gwt.Patient.gwt.xml now includes a <source path="gwt"/>. I think I need this since I am using a non-standard package convention that does not include client/server packages and I need to tell the GWT compiler where the code for this inherited module exists.
This jar file is not in my projects classpath but I am getting the same old tiresome error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
