100% agreement!
Maybe before continuing the discussion, we should verify if (in principle)
all supported platforms have a kind of virtual table widget. For windows, for
example, I was pretty suprized to see that SWT puts a pretty heavy weight
expensive mechanism on top of the "virtual table widget" of windows.
I would expect in the future, that a non virtual table uses a SWT virtual
table. So, the TableItem based table would be one example how to use the virtual
tables.
For example, what do you do about table items when in virtual
mode and the guy asks for them? I imagine we'd poof up free items ...
or not. What happens when he mixes virtual and non-virtual? What
happens when he selects an item but this item doesn't yet exist. What
does getSelection() return? Please don't bother trying to answer these
questions here.
Where do you think those questions should be discussed?
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37998 is tracking the "I
hate the native table" issue.
Do you suggest to use this entry as "discussion forum"?
