Every time you write code for tree or table you have to enable header visible and lines visible by calling setHeaderVisible(true) and setLinesVisible(true)..

although this is a small code but why shouldn't it be enable by default cuz normally tables and trees are used like that...  

Reproducible: Always

Tables/Trees without headers and lines are actually pretty common (eg.- any time you see what looks like a list with icons it's actually a Table without lines or header), so I disagree that this would be a valuable change to make.

That being said, even if this was a valuable change, this behaviour could not be changed now anyways, as it would break all existing Table/Tree users out there that depend on not getting these by default.  Closing report.
