And you need an adapter to display the data in a suitable form. E.g. JFace TableViewer uses java.lang.Object for holding the data and the custom implementation of the interface ...ContentProvider and ...LabelProvider do the instructions for displaying the data. So you could use a Vector holding target objects holding the data you need (e.g. you use Antīs own Target class :). When usings Swing provide a factory method which converts this list to a TableModel. When using SWT/JFace write the *Provider. Jan
