It worked! Thanks, Om.
I simply added the path src/skin in the source path of my style project, and
then changed the ClassReference as
ClassReference("sparkSkins.SkinForCustomItemRendererComponent"); and this
worked.
We should probably expose this solution to the public world. I've been
struggling with this issue and looks like a lot of people did have the same
issue long before. Not sure if they found a solution. So, it would be great to
have our mailing list solutions "googleable".
Anyway, thanks again for the help!

David,
It looks like you did not get my earlier response.
For q1:
It seems like your main source path is not set to "src". If you set it to src,
it might fix your problem.
Or you could try: skinClass:
ClassReference("sparkSkins.SkinForCustomItemRendererComponent");
I hope that helps.
Thanks,
Om
