use custom behavior class for TableView

[Jonathan Giles]

Hi Sven,

In general the behavior aspect of UI controls is not yet public API, so 
we've not yet given a huge amount of thought to how best to expose 
these. We've got ideas, but they won't be implemented as part of JavaFX 
8.0, although I hope that they will be as part of the 8.x series of 
releases. This explains why you're running into problems like the one 
you're mentioning :-)

I'd be interested to learn why you want to replace / modify the behavior 
of the TableView control (as it will help to inform future API 
decisions). It might also enable me to give some advice on how best to 
proceed now.

I'm not sure, but I'd imagine it is probably best to discuss this 
off-list as we may start to spam the list otherwise :-)

Thanks,
-- Jonathan
