I solved the problem... This had nothing to do with the GWT. The problem was with adding a folder to java class path dynamically. Although at first I thought I had done it correctly, it turned out that that's a little tricky...
For anyone else with the same problem - here's a gist on how to solve it... http://gist.github.com/387972 As you can see, a call to protected method is required in order to add a folder to class path.
