GWT RPC cannot compile the project

Question

This question is an extension of previous question. GWT Cannot compile the project

Please have a look and tell me what's wrong with it.

Client side.

class twitter4j.Tweet cannot be used in client code since it is not included in any inherited GWT module. You need to create your own transfer object class, for example TweetDTO somewhere in your client or shared packages. Only this object should be used in interfaces TwitterServiceAsync and TwitterService. Then in your servlet, you create TweetDTO copy required values from Tweet to TweetDTO and then return a list of TweetDTO.
