GWT 2.7 compiler doesn't generate cache.html files

The GWT 1.6.4 compiler created files like 7AEDCB61FCE68F031FDE2B8B2B0DD85C.cache.html

After upgrading to GWT 2.7, cache.html files are no longer generated in my project. Instead .js files are generated, e.g. 46D172E45CA94222554BE5B5DBFAA7AC.cache.js

With these files none of the GWT widgets are presented in my website. The cache.html files are missing when I run the GWT compiler from Intellij or from Eclipse. I ran the GWT compiler with log level DEBUG and didn't see anything in the result to indicate why cache.html files were not created. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

In GWT 2.7, the default linker has changed from std to xsiframe, hence the change in the file names; but this change alone is unrelated to the application not working. Also, the std (IFrameLinker) and xs (XSLinker) linkers have been deprecated, as the xsiframe linker combines the best of both and supports SuperDevMode (and SuperDevMode is turned on by default)
