GWT Compile in eclipse and running GWT compile via external run configuration give different results

[Paul]

GWT 2.4.0

I am trying to understand why when I right click my GWT project and perform a GWT compile in eclipse I get what I expect but when I setup the GWT compile process via the GWT Maven plugin or as an external run configuration I do not get what I expect. It looks like as if an entire permutation is not created.

So maybe my question is, how do I mimic the eclipse GWT compile process in eclipse via an external run configuration? This should then allow me to deduce what the issue is.

Currently I setup a java run configuration as follows =>

Project: my GWT project
Main class: com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler

arguments: my module

classpath (User Entries):
   my GWT project
   my GWT project maven dependencies container
   folder to source of my GWT project
   folder(s) to source of other GWT module projects

I run this and it compiles my project (7 permutations) yet when finished I only have 6.

If I run GWT compile built into eclipse against my GWT project then I get the 7 permutations as expected.

A bespoke GWT linker has been added to generate an artifact that contains information on the entire build. This should have no bearing on the issue but I mention it just in case.

Any ideas?
