Ive just started playing with JBuilders swing component collection...
I have yet to accomplish anything useful with the JDBTable bean. One
operation is that Id like to be able to define a column as a picklist
(in a dataset) and display this.... Works fine ith JBCL but not with
swing. Following this back I see some attempt at retrieveing the class
of the column in the DBTableModel But you dont define your columns
model there ... There is somem references to the itempainnter and
itemeditor  do you need to use these ???
