Extending ArrayList - GWT compiler crashes out

Hi,

I have a requirement where I am creating a set of custom collection classes by deriving from existing ones, such as 

public class CustomArrayList<E> extends ArrayList<E>{


public CustomArrayList(){



}


}

Then I use a replace with rule to replace ArrayList with this custom collection

//gwt.xml file contains this configuration        <replace-with          class="xxxxxxxx.yyyyyyy.CustomArrayList">          <when-type-is class="java.util.ArrayList" />      </replace-with>

This seems to crash the compiler randomly. I would say in about 3 runs it crashes once. Please note the project has a bit clientside codebase spanning atleast 1000 odd classes.

The error shown is 

verifying instantiability of 

CustomArrayList<java.lang.Object> 

[INFO] [WARN] Checking all subtypes of Object which qualify for serialization [ERROR] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError [ERROR] at com.google.gwt.dev.util.log.AbstractTreeLogger.commitMyBranchEntryInMyParentLogger(AbstractTreeLogger.java:252) [ERROR] at com.google.gwt.dev.util.log.AbstractTreeLogger.commitMyBranchEntryInMyParentLogger(AbstractTreeLogger.java:252) [ERROR] at

I also posted this question on SO -

Any pointers shall be extremely helpful. 

thanks,
