title: BeansBinding a JTable in NetBeans
body: <p>I want map a List of beans to a JTable.  The idea is that each column will be a preselected field in the bean and each row will be a bean in the List.  Slide #32 here looks very promising:  <a href="http://swinglabs.org/docs/presentations/2007/DesktopMatters/beans-binding-talk.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://swinglabs.org/docs/presentations/2007/DesktopMatters/beans-binding-talk.pdf</a></p>
  
  <p>However, NetBeans is not very friendly in letting me assign a bean field to a column.  I can right-click the JTable and click Bind->Elements and bind it to my List of beans.  However, it will not let me specify what goes in each column.  The only option is to create the binding myself which pretty much makes NetBeans useless for this type of thing.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a detail I'm missing?  It appears that JTable BeansBinding in NetBeans is just broken.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
