Re: Unable to find type after change in project structure

Yes, there is a relation (from my understanding).

The GWT compiler first looks for a "ModuleDef.gwt.xml" file, and then,
from that location it looks one package further (by default looking
for a "client" subpackage, but you can specify this in your module
definition GWT xml file) for your client code and entry point class
(if one is defined). So I'm not sure that you can decouple the GWT xml
file package location from your client code like that.

It makes logical sense the way you have it defined, though, so maybe
someone who has more insight as to the inner workings could chime in?
