This is planned, but it won't make it in 1.3 because the controls
backlog was big. 1.3 is finally closing in all the basics (tree, list,
menus, scrollview, multiline textbox etc.) except the table/grid -
that should come in the next release. Seems like a good plan for me
exactly because the table/grid is the most complex and important
control, it should be especially well designed, remarkably to allow
great binding to diverse data sources (the JavaFX Composer beta shows
that Sun plans to invest here - drag&drop building of business apps
that navigate data from databases, XML and others sources). And if
Swing teaches any lesson, we are better off waiting for a careful
design than to hurry up and then live forever with the result. Oracle
doesn't need to change the route, unless they can throw sufficient new
resources in the project so they can deliver the Grid in 1.3's
schedule (but then, our friend Fred Brooks says this doesn't usually
works...).
Let's also recall that one wanting to develop business apps now with
JavaFX can anyway mix with Swing components where there's a native
component lack, thus using JTable or JXTable - of course, not the best
option, but doable.
