The GWT compiler simply needs the source of your dependency available
at compile time. It doesn't matter whether it's in the form of a JAR
file or a directory on the classpath. You do need to make sure GWT
knows where to look, so see <source path="..."> (for your *.gwt.xml).

Be careful that your new dependency doesn't use reflection because
most of that is not supported by GWT (for obvious reasons).
