Copying code from gwt-material's github demo (gwt-material-demo) you can receive this strange error in compile-time:
[ERROR] 12477 [main] INFO org.jboss.errai.enterprise.rebind.NonGwtEventQualifierSerializerGenerator - Successfully loaded org.jboss.errai.cdi.EventQualifierSerializerImpl
[INFO] Computing all possible rebind results for '[my_packages].Binder'
[INFO] Rebinding [my_packages].Binder
[INFO] Invoking generator com.google.gwt.uibinder.rebind.UiBinderGenerator
[INFO] [ERROR] Unexpected text in element: "? ?": <m:MaterialRow> (:21)
This is due to some strange unvisible characters as shown in this picture:
Removing them, everything is okay.
