[news.eclipse.technology.nebula] [CompositeTable] a question of size

["David Kyle" <davidk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is it realistic to use a CompositeTable for an extremely large table? A bit 
of playing around with CompositeTableSnippet4 shows that it can handle 
millions of rows. Hurrah! But it cannot handle 20,000 columns. Even a small 
500 column table caused out of resource issues.

I noticed that 
http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/widgets/compositetable/compositetable.php 
mentions

    "4. Requests only visible data using a virtual table API for maximum 
scalability and performance."

Has any progress been made on this point? My only other option is to use 
Albireo and implement a Swing JTable.

Thanks,
David Kyle
