Planning for JavaFX.next

[Daniel Glöckner]

Hi,

Thanks for collecting feedback!

* TableView / TreeTableView: freezing columns (standard in many business apps)
* TableView: in "data grid" scenarios it would be nice if the table would provide an API similar to the one in Swing ("void setValueAt(Object aValue, int rowIndex, int columnIndex)")
* Focus traversal API -> I think this must be done one day ;)

Kind regards,
Daniel
