java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor.<init>

The compilation of the other application I am trying to migrate to GWT 2.10.0 fails this stacktrace:

...

Any hint on this would also be highly appreciated.

As an experiment I removed an old exclusion of com.google.gwt:gwt-dev that some job-ancestor of mine had specified (see the commented part in my pom.xml snippet below):

            ...

            <!-- MVP component -->
            <dependency>
                <groupId>com.gwtplatform</groupId>
                <artifactId>gwtp-mvp-client</artifactId>
                <version>1.6</version>
                <!--
                <exclusions>
                    <exclusion>
                        <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
                        <artifactId>gwt-dev</artifactId>
                    </exclusion>
                </exclusions>
                -->
            </dependency>

            ...

 and now I don't get the mentioned compiler error anymore but instead I end in the same odd

     'Throwable.HasJavaThrowable' has invalid name '?'

exception that I describe in my other thread. So, both, project migrations are now stuck in the same issue ... 

:-(
