JavaFX Generic Table Library

The goal of this project is to bring some of the basic excel like capabilities to javafx tables. This work is an offshoot of the development work at https://www.gemsoftware.org Geotechnical Engineering Modelling Software (GEMS)

Supports :

1. Editing of cells in tableview
2. drag and select a rectangle with mouse
3. cut copy, paste of cells using keyboard (Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V)
4. context menu for cut, copy, paste, delete, insertrow, delete row. Right click on table shows context menu
5. menubar with cut, copy, paste & delete functionality
6. Validation of float, integer, double values
