All you ever wanted to do with a JTable... but were afraid to code.

If the JTable component allows the developper to present data in a spreadsheet fashion, allowing the end-user to edit the cells may become quite difficult. More, if you want to display some of these data in a customized way then programming can quickly become a challenge. Not only the JbcGridTable component comes with its own set of editors and renderers, it accepts any other bean you may use. (The associated demo uses the JBC Gui Beans Suite).

More, it allows the dynamic insertion of any other Swing(tm) component inside the table area that may be used to display or edit the contents of a row. (This feature can dramaticaly simplify the verification of the user's modification of the row data whithout the need of opening a new window at the user's request). This row expansion can be triggered by any event.

As a generalization of the insertion of any component, you can even expand a row into another JbcGridTable giving to the resulting one the best of the JTable and the JTree components. You can nest as many levels of JbcGridTable as your application may need.
