Matisse: using TableModelEditor in data-aware (real) applications

Hi there,

I am writing simple GUI application with JPA. Great thing is that
Toplink and Derby are included in NB5.5 - everything you need is right
there out of the box :)

In my data frame, there is JTable showing records from database. There
is nice table editor in Matisse, you can define columns, but it seems
useless, because I have to override data model anyway - my table is
loaded with data received from entity manager.

Is there any way I could visually define my table columns and use this
after replacing data model? Now I have just blank rectangle because I
have to use my custom table model... it does not seem to be the proper
way of using visual editor :(

p.s.
I think in the near future Swing should be replaced by some other API
for creating desktop applications. I think this new library/framework
could use Swing internally but it might be much much more declarative
(annotations!). Defining things like table columns, data sources and
binding could be finally resolved under one umbrella :)
