the "MyModule" that will be used in MyModuleUsage module does not need
to be GWT compiled ... and even further you can't GWTcomplie it
without an entry point, but you don't need it gwt complied,
in this type of scenario myModule is compiled in java (javac) and made
a jar that has the .class files along with the .java files for the
classes in the (from the) folder that are mentioned by <source
path='client'/> tags.
when you'll GWTcompile the MyModuleUsage module GWT il put in that
compilation all the classes needed for this module to run that
includes the classes from MyModule.
that in info is on AFAIK bases, if someone knows different please
correct me.
for "My question is , the way I am using multiple modules to reduce
files sizes, is it correct or no ?" only the people working on
developing GWT could give u an correct answer, my guess is that it'
wont reduce it. but it would be usefull if you've used MyModule in
other more modules like MyModuleUsage
Hope it helps you and clears some of you questions
good luck
