SOLVED!!!
Isn't always something real dumb. So my final piece of
misunderstanding on <source/> element was keeping this from compiling.
The inherited module xml file was under gwt/. The path component of
the <source/> element is relative to the directory in which the xml
module file resides. So it looked like this ...
gwt/
Patient.java
Patient.gwt.xml
So my <source path="gwt" /> entry was likely making the compiler look
for source under gwt.gwt.Patient. LOL
I changed it to <source path=""/> which I doubted was legal. But it
worked!!!
Hope this might help someone.
