Re: [nebula-dev] NetTable & RAP

Hi Dirk and Wim,
in the end, at least for now, we have chosen the Nebula Grid.

However let me congratulate with both of you for your great work, including the latest releases, both on Nebula 1.2.0 and NatTable 1.5.0

Cheers
Vincenzo

Hi, 

From my knowledge NatTable has a better performance for huge data sets. And it provides a lot of additional features out of the box, e.g. filter row, groupby, print, export, summary row etc. For a better overview of the features you should step through the examples application. 

To be honest, I am not very familiar with Nebula Grid and therefore can't tell anything about the feature set there. I just used it once for performance comparison. Using it is similar to the JFace viewer. NatTable has a completely different approach in the architecture, and is therefore more difficult to get started with. 

Not sure about your use cases and requirements, but compared to the effort for making NatTable RAP ready, I would go for some other table widget and see if it provides what I need. 

Greez,

Hi Wim, Dirk,
after reading this
I am wondering what are the features that NatTable provides in addition to Nebula GridViewer.
Can you help for a comparison?

As for the NatTable, I made a try and imported org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.core into a RAP 3.0.2 workspace: most of the problems pointed out by Angelo in 2012 are still there. I commented out the parts with errors and was able to see something somehow

but it is totally unusable this way.
Probably going through each commented part with attention may be a way.
But must admit that GridViewer, with all the JFace viewer powerful concepts, raises the doubt about going on in this direction.

I don't want to put the two projects one against the other: just would like to understand them better.
