I don't think it's compatible with Apache-licensed code however (as
soon as you start copying/adapting it; only using it isn't a problem,
it's a "bind by name" in Java, so it's not considered a "Derivative
Work" (otherwise GXT wouldn't be GPL'd)).
That's why I don't think too much about licensing and just pick the
one of the project I'm basing my work on (Apache 2.0, the same as GWT,
in this case).
And given that you don't intend to make money out of it (contrary to,
say, GXT), I'd recommend using Apache rather than GPL so anyone can
use it any way they want (provided they following the licensing terms;
item #4 of the Apache 2.0 license distributed in the COPYING file for
instance ;-) )

If you haven't changed anything to JsCollections, maybe you'd have
rather kept the "original" one (package name, etc. maybe even the
jscollections.jar)
Or actually maybe you shouldn't rather use JsArray<?> all over the
place instead of "casting" from/to Java arrays as I did (Java arrays
make it clearer that it's designed to be immutable; GWT's own
lightweight collections –coming in GWT 2.2 I hope– would make it even
clearer and better [1]).

Also, I saw that you started copying the Adobe doc into the javadoc
(in ServiceMonitor for instance); beware of copyrights and licensing
terms here too!
