GWT 2.8-SNAPSHOT and SmartGWT 4.1p

[jpappalardo]

During the GWT compile I get the following messages. The compile completes successfully despite the error, and everything appears to run as expected but I am uncertain what that particular Linker is attempting to accomplish.

We've applied a fix to SGWT 4.1p and newer which should avoid the error. It will be in the nightlies dated 2015-08-08.

That fixed it, thank you
