I think what he wants is to be possible to do what any good user of a
JTable do:

public class MyModel implements TableModel {
.....
}

instead of copying the data from the original source to the
DefaultTableModel class for example. A lot of GTK programmers develop
programs using the last option: copy the data to a GtkTreeStore or
GtkListStore instead of implementing the GtkTreeModel interface (this
was not possible the last time I used java-gnome)
