AdvancedTableFormat (Glazed Lists)

All Superinterfaces:

TableFormat<E>
```
public interface AdvancedTableFormat<E>
extends TableFormat<E>
```
Allows the ability to specify column class information in addition to the standard TableFormat information.
This class can be used as an alternative to the simple TableFormat class to provide column class information that is used to determine what cell renderer and/or editor should be used for a column. If no custom renderers or editors are required, it is sufficient to implement TableFormat only.
