In SWT this is possible with a custom item painting, see http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet231.java. Unfortunately, MeasureItem, PaintItem and EraseItem events are missing in RAP. GC support for table is missing too. I doubt, that we can implement this in a close future.

--- moved from bug 340299 ---
RCP (on Linux platform) table cell content is wrapped when "\n" is used but RAP doesn't wrap the same.

Multi-line rows in web based gui is very common. Just take an example of our RAP Community Forum web page " http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id= 34&S=93d9acc82566642c9de7f1a0b73ebc23", it also uses table with multi-line for main table.

More details and findings on the problem are there in RAP community Forum topic, "http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=206214&start=0&S=93d9acc82566642c9de7f1a0b73ebc23"

Note: On Windows even RCP doesn't wrap the table cell content. But there is a work-around. More details on this can be fount at above mentioned forum topic.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here is a sample code to create table with multi-line,

private void createSimpleTable(Composite parent) {
TableViewer tv = new TableViewer(parent);
tv.setContentProvider(new IStructuredContentProvider() {
public void inputChanged(Viewer viewer, Object oldInput, Object newInput) {
}
public void dispose() {
}
public Object[] getElements(Object inputElement) {
return (Object[]) inputElement;
}
});
tv.getTable().setLinesVisible(true);
tv.setInput(new String[]{"line 1\n line2", "line1 \n line2", "line 1\n line2", "line1 \n line2"});
}

This shows multi-line table in RCP app on Linux platform. Using the same code in RAP shows tripped off text in single line for each rows.

For performance and complexity reasons, is is very unlikely that we will ever support tables (or trees) with items that have different heights. Support for multiple lines within a table item will be provided with bug 346768.
