RE: [platform-swt-dev] the SWT Table control

>>>> http://conga.opendoors.com

I do appreciate your advice.

Unfortunately, I am not the only person deciding on the architecture of the
future application. Even though SWT is a bit offstream, I can point to the
IBM paper http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-nativegui/ and to
Eclipse as proof of concept. I've almost completed my own proof of concept;
and all of that will constitute supporting evidence that the application's
GUI can be done with SWT.

In fact there's nothing wrong with SWT. It's just that it lacks a good
spreadsheet/grid control in use in typical database applications. Given
these considerations, the solution consists in supplementing SWT with the
appropriate spreadsheet/grid control in one way or another, instead of
moving to another framework.
