:)
I am actually coming around to the builder pattern, previously I have
used the factory pattern. I would like to try it on a project to get a
better feel for its use.

Malcolm,
Please make it harder so that we should need to do at least 10% of the
work :-) I don't want to get any lazier then I am already.
Joking aside, that sounds great then.

Agree, but I think this is how people would probably use it. The
TableBuilder and FormBuilder would have 95% of the code you would need
and then you would subclass it to provide that last 5% for your work.

Yeah builders/factories are great for building click forms/tables, but I
find writing my own much more flexible because I always tend to
customize the objects created.

Please see the JIRA below:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-565
This provides two example patterns. I think it would be good to
include something like this in click extras.
