Hi David,
Thanks for the slides ..they were very infomative..

Had one query ….Any functionality like merging cells,grouping headers etc..require extending the BasicTableUI or HeaderUI etc..so how would it still remain cross platform..and also work with any 3rd party look n feels .unless each of the specific LookNFeels ie .. Windows,Metal..Substance TableUI etc..are extended individually and plugged in into the component.

Could you please explain if there is any other alternative.

Thanks,
Pavan

The cell merging on the header is a different story as the header is not a JTable. We used a new header called NestedTableHeader to achieve the cell merge feature on the header. You are right. Each L&F needs to have its own subclasses which sucks. This is exactly why I mentioned in the slide that we have to face certain limitations in order to be compatible JTable etc.
