We will build an Eclipse RCP application which displays data of persons in a JFace table. Each person is displayed in one individual row.

This tutorial demonstrate how to define the columns of the table and how to make the columns editable. It also shows how to sort the table based on different columns and how to filter the displayed data.

We will also learn how to use StyledCellLabelProvider to influence the display of data in the table. The usage of commands and how to hide and sort table columns is demonstrated.

The final application will look like this.
