| [platform-ui-dev] jtable/ktable support |
Anway a little while ago I raised the need for a jtable like widget as swt table is far too limited, I found ktable (which is based on jtable but written for eclipse), it worked very well. I recommended ktable for inclusion in SWT, but was informed that its emulated and thus out of scope for SWT and belongs with JFace.
Anyway KTable development has stopped, last release was Mar 04 2004, which makes people nervous about using abandonware. So while people are thinking of 3.2 features I would like to put my vote for flexible and powerfull table features being included as standard in eclipse - so it hopefully gains momentum/backing.
