Why doesn't you supoort GWT designer anymore?

You're asking the wrong people actually.
GWT Designer is (was?) a Google product, maintained by Google (after they bought Instantiations), with a stripped-down version shipped with the Google Plugin for Eclipse. It's Google all the way down, and maintained by a different team inside Google than the one building GWT.
There was a need to change some internal API of GWT, and it happens that GWT Designer calls that API (hence the error); and nobody is actually actively maintaining GWT Designer. In 2.6.0, another change broke GWT Designer already, and we reintroduced the legacy code in 2.6.1 hoping GWT Designer would be fixed. It didn't happen (as far as I know). Because the GWT Team wants to move forward, even if that means breaking GWT Designer, we thought we had to mention the breaking change in GWT's release notes, but the reality is that the team behind GWT Designer don't actively maintain it anymore, and that team is not affiliated with GWT (besides many developers working in the same company).

BTW, if you're looking for GWT Designer's source code, it's there: https://code.google.com/p/gwt-designer/
