So what's the Swing equivalent to SWT's TreeTable?
I'm not just trolling; I'd really like to know.

I haven't seen any fine Swing-based systems. At least I should have seen
from Java.com! Maybe your quality standard may not need beyond
Swing. Note that if Swing was adequate, no SWT project would
have initiated. Also SWT project should disband. If Swing is good,
SWT project is actually harming Java.
You need to look around for reality check. We heavily depend on
AWT with custom widgets. We simply cannot use Swing. We use our
Swing version systems to demo how crap Swing is.
Best regards.
