Description

Continuing from https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/10056

Running DevMode on a GWT module that carries modules with similar names does not copy all JARs to `WEB-INF/lib`

for example: `spring-webmvc.jar` is copied but `spring-web.jar` is not

Checkout and import https://bitbucket.org/upperlimit-public/gwt-devmode-server/src/main into an Eclipse Workspace.

I am using Eclipse 2025-03 but any relatively recent version should reproduce the problem.

Run DevMode on module `GWT-DevMode-server.POC.javax.web` with program argument `-server net.upperlimit.tools.GWT.DevMode.server.impl.Cargo.embedded.Tomcat9.javax.DevModeServerLauncher` after enabling profile named `IMPL_CARGO_EMBEDDED_TOMCAT9`

Under `target/gwt-maven-plugin/WEB-INF/lib` you will only see `spring-webmvc.jar` present but not `spring-web.jar`

This is important because the components in the missing JAR are loaded by the parent DevMode classloader instead of the webapp classloader, leading to a chain of runtime problems which are impossible to resolve.
