Concerns about TreeTableViews ability to display UNlimited number of rows of data

[Jonathan Giles]

In on my phone, so I'll keep this really brief. I have one suggested approach in the TreeItem javadoc here:

http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/control/TreeItem.html

Perhaps this will help. I can look into it deep power tomorrow if necessary.
