Okay.
I want to represent complex hierarchically structured data in a table, with the ability to drill down to any level. Some of the objects in the hierarchy have an obvious intuitive representation as a graphical component or sub-table.
Using a HierarchicalTable of nested tables is not really appropriate, because the vast majority of rows have the same three columns. Using a Hierarchical table instead of a TreeTable would entail repeating the column headings for every row, and the resizing/sorting of the columns would not be applied globally.
I could create a custom cell renderer which rendered cells in certain rows by painting content from another component, but I was hoping there might be something from HierarchicalTable that I could reuse.
