Hello GWT-Land, 

I am trying to create a view like the attached. 

Essentially, it's a hybrid between a CellTable and a CellTree; that is, the 
data exists in a tree structure but it wants to be represented 
two-dimensionally (in a table) with tree-depth displayed via an indent. The 
actual requirement I have is a very data intensive application and so 
ideally I'd prefer to use the Cell Widgets. 

As I see it, I've got a few options:

   1. Try to hack something up with CellTable/DataGrid (ala the Showcase 
   example). This isn't ideal as it seems difficult to then rely on the 
   individual widgets to reliably manage data.
   2. Use CellTable/DataGrid with: a) a Cell to indent the name (as per the 
   attached) and decorate the value with a caret; and b) a DataProvider wired 
   up to fetch data and insert it at a specified index. 
   3. Use FlexTable (or some bespoke table impl) and avoid Cell Widgets et 
   al all together. This is what I'm currently leaning towards as it seems the 
   most controllable.
   4. Write a new widget -- likely extending AbstractCellTree -- to do what 
   I need.

I am of course hoping there's some simple solution I'm overlooking and so 
any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers,
- Andrew.
