I decided to prototype this feature to see how tough it would be, and
got it working pretty quickly. However, I discovered an issue with the
concept - generally, when you want your table columns sized to fit,
you also want to include the preferred width of the header in your
calculations. TableViews know nothing about their headers - it is the
other way around (TableViewHeaders know about the TableViews to which
they are assigned - it is where they get the column sizes). So, the
TableView can't possibly factor the width of the header into the
calculation.
As a result, I think code such as this probably belongs at the app
level, not in the table view itself. You could pretty easily write a
method that will, using the column's cell renderer, determine the max.
cell width and explicitly set the column width to that value. You'd
just need to re-run this method every time your table data changes
(which, presumably, you would be aware of).
