GWT 2.5 compilation error

Question

If client side code changes we can refresh the page to recompile it and see the results. It worked nice with GWT 2.4

As of GWT 2.5 there is a problem. Upon page refreshing a com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException is thrown. If I restart the web application and refresh the page everything goes fine. So it seems to be some bug in GWT.

A few details:

1. This exception is thrown if anything is changed, for example css file (!)
2. This exception is thrown often but not always, sometimes it is OK.
3. Actual exception may concern almost any class. In this example it is java.lang.Integer.
