We didn't have time to replace PagingScrollTable completely in GWT 2.1, but we plan to do so for GWT 2.2 by building off the CellTable framework. We know that our release plans affect you, and we plan to focus more on our widget libraries in future releases. Browsers have come a long way since we created PagingScrollTable, and we're hoping to take advantage to create a more stable enterprise quality table.
I uploaded a new version of incubator that is compatible with GWT 2.1.0.
