Well, my basic requirements are not that high. It needs to be reliable 
since it will go into production code. I need to be able to select and 
edit individual cells, using free text fields, combo boxes and check 
boxes at least. I realize that this could theoretically be achieved 
using the stock SWT table and table cursor, but I feel that the table 
cursor is too much of a hack to qualify. (For example, leaves the real 
table unfocused all the time, which is ugly.) Separation of data model 
is not really necessary since the data will be fairly simple.

But I'll check out the JaretTable to see if it would work. Thanks for 
the tip!
