Why are the createRow(...) methods not in the ITable interface? [message #1429385]

Hi there

I noticed that in the ITable interface, there are plenty of methods to manipulate rows (delete, discard, move, ...).

However, the createRow of AbstractTable methods are not in this interface. I wondered if there is a design reason behind this omission?

Otherwise, I would suggest to add it to the interface - all known implementors of ITable that I can see (AbstractTable or its subclasses) seem to implement this method...

Context:
I noticed this while writing a generic handler that manipulates rows (delete, change, create&add) for arbitrary tables. I almost managed to use a generic parameter <T extends ITable> in the handler, except for the missing createRow methods.

Thanks for starting the discussion here.

As far as I am concerned, I do not see why the method is not on the interface. Maybe someone in the dev-team will have another opinion.
