Hey,
I found a component called TableView. Though through extensive google/codesearch and a lot of trying, I can't even instantiate it.
Can anyone perhaps explain to me how I should use this? How the nodes should be structured, how the table model fits in? I tried making table models that return raw values, properties by row/column, properties by node/property, everything I could think of. I can't even get it to load. It just ends up in an AssertionException.
Any help would be appreciated.

3. Have an action item like a button in another column
4. Be able to link this with property sheets. For ex. you double click it and a property view pops up to the left. The property sheet will then display more information, as well as listen for services to provide extra information related to this entity.
I would like to refrain from standard JTables, so I can hook into the NB explorer/nodes api a bit better.
I heard of a tree table, which, as I understand it is the explorer API view on nodes, but displayed in a table. This sounds fine, as I would then only have root nodes to display one level data?

OK. I got a TreeTableView going. The normal TableView is still a mystery to me. Though by hiding the root node this seems to do something.
3 questions:
1. How can I hide the first column which displays the node itself
2. All the String fields have a little ellipse button next to it to view the full string. How can I hide this?
3. How do I display custom components in a cell, specifically a JButton.
Thanks,

Can't find this, though I guess it's not too critical.

Found this by returning a generic PropertyEditorSupport for the node property as it's editor.

For this I was thinking of seeing how existing properties do it. Where can I find the code of the color property editor, like for a components fore/background color? I search on codesearch for the descriptions of these properties, but can't even find them.

Yes, I also had problems with TableView. I could instantiate it, but it
behaved strangly. I filed an issue. Please vote for it & add a comment:

As far as I know, it doesn't. That's why I ended up with JXTable (SwingX).
