Primefaces 3 datatable cell selection

I'm just curious if the cell selection feature will make it into the next version. The last time I checked this feature was missing.

For dynamic columns it would be nice if only the cell could selected and not the complete row.

I guess it means "No"

It's kind of sad to see a new version with less features. Dropping support for JSF 1 is a decision I can understand but introducing a new major version and using it for dropping features is pretty lame. It doesn't help Primefaces in making it a product you can rely on.

Of course, I'd be happy to be convinced otherwise

It is dropped in favor of sheet that is specialized on cell selection.

3.x has tons of more new features than 2.x.

Hi Cagatay,

I was very excited to see that feature but unfortunately it doesn't offer the same selection mechanism as does the old yui-based implementation. CTRL+Shift doesn't seem to be supported. Well, I need to have a closer look at this component and see if we can work with it. All the fancy features are nice to have but what we really needed was a simple datatable with this very user-friendly excel-like selection feature offered by the yui datatable component.

I guess you have decided to make this move with good feedback from the community so maybe I should not complain.
Anyhow, the situation isn't as bad as in JSF 1 times as it now seems possible to implement custom components without being a magician. I thought about the jqueryUI selectable which would even provide a better usability than the yui datatable. What about Github? I think Richfaces is really trying to involve the community in providing new components.

Thanks for your work.
