Is there a way for a single row in a table to contain multiple lines?
For instance a log viewer where each message may have multiple lines.

Thanks!

Hi,

multiple lines in a cell are not possible. See:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37998

But you could realize that with KTable, a custom-drawn table for SWT:

Hi,

AFAIK Cell editors are for editing the cell content only and are
typically activated by some user action (like clicking). So there is
just one active and visible at a time.
Your use case sounds like this is not enought and you'd like to have
multiline content in all your lines.

this is a good point. I don't see a license for your table control...
