Re: [platform-swt-dev] Export to Spreadsheet/tabulated data file module?

[Peter Centgraf <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IMHO, the functionality you describe would not fit as part of SWT, since 
it isn't related to user interface components or native integration. 
However, you could make a case for adding it to the JFace TableViewer or 
providing it as a helper class in the JFace packages.  Try the 
eclipse.platform newsgroup.

Then again, I'm just an observer here and can't speak for the SWT team.
