Reviving this old thread ..
Has there been a decision on this yet? Just want to know if
PagingScrollTable is likely to make it to trunk in a future release.

Subject: Moving PagingScrollTable Friends to Trunk
To: Google Web Toolkit Contributors
Frankly, we've vacillated on it. The problem is that the currently
implementation, though full-featured, really doesn't scale especially
well
even to medium-sized numbers of rows. Trees have the same problem, as
does
any similar sort of compound widget.
Increasingly, we're thinking that we should redefine the whole effort
into
designing a family of MVC-style complex widgets. This will require a
lot of
design work, and we're pretty sure we won't be able to get it done
properly
in the 2.0 timeframe.
So, in terms of your planning, I'd say plan for it *not* to ship with
2.0.

I was under the impression (based on conversations with GWT team
members) at Google I/O in May), that moving this into trunk for 2.0
was a sure thing. Has something changed?
I'll live if this has changed, I'd just like to know. Please...keep us
informed...
thanks,

Issue #188 has 40 stars, making it number seven in the issue list

So if you're anxious for PST to leave the incubator, star this issue:

We probably won't decide what to move into trunk until we get closer
to
the
next release. I'm working on improving our unit test coverage to
make
GWT
more stable, and most of the other UI developers are busy on their
own
tasks. Sorry I don't have a better answer, but I'll escalate the
fact
that
quite a few people have been asking about the table and would like to
see it
in trunk.

Just curious if the effort has been resumed? Regardless, is
there
anyway for you to commit what you do have somewhere we could
look
and
provide feedback?

@jay - I got side tracked with other tasks, but I'll pick up
the
PagingScrollTable effort within a couple of weeks. The main
goal
when we
transfer the PagingScrollTable to GWT trunk is to separate the
concept of
scrolling (with three distinct tables) from the rest of the
code.
That way,
we can bulk render a single table element that includes the
header,data, and
footer and have it layout naturally.
@dflorey - I definitely plan to include all three of your
points
into the
scroll table. Thanks again for all your contributions.
I don't know exactly how long it will take to integrate
everything
into the
GWT trunk, but its one of my highest priorities.

Hi,
I'd like to support this effort and would be glad if some of
my
changes would make it into trunk:
- filters
- column types for most frequently used column types
(numbers,dates,text) including proper filtering, editing and
sorting
capabilities
- simplified table generation ( see
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit-incubator/wiki/TreeTable
)
(TreeTable is not ready for prime time yet)

I saw the initial commit of these classes into your
branch,
but
I
haven't seen any additional commits. I'd love to take a
look
at
the
current direction, and see what other input I can provide.

We'll definitely keep these things in mind when moving

problems,
such as
the
fact the the table doesn't layout naturally, which means
apps
require
active
layout. During
