We're working with the JFace team on this.  See 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=104570

The early access code is available in:

Server: dev.eclipse.org
CVSroot: /home/tools
Project: org.eclipse.ve.sweet

There are demo/test programs in org.eclipse.ve.sweet.test and 
org.eclipse.ve.sweet.table.test.

NOTE: This is totally unstable API right now!  It's guaranteed to 
change!  But if you want to help us build the future of Eclipse user 
interfaces, come join us!


Best regards,

Dave Orme
