[news.eclipse.platform] TreeViewer text spanning columns

[Charles Godwin <automatic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a TreeViewer with multiple columns. On certain rows I want to have text that spans two or more columns. This is a feature commonly available in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word tables.

Here's a primitive example
[code]
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
|This is All columns text that is wider than each column         |
|Two column text         | Col 3  text | Col 4 text  | Col 5 text|
|Col 1 text | Col 2 text | Col 3 text  | Col 4 text  | Col 5 text|
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
[/code]
does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
