Hi, I'm creating a subclass of DataGrid to support multi-column sort.
Since I need to customize header rendering, desire to override
createHeaders() in AbstractCellTable. Unfortunately, the method is
private. Why is it private? I expect some extent of developers want to
customize header/footer rendering of table.

The GWT team did this be design.
AFAIK interfaces and classes which are not really finalized are (package-) private so that nobody can rely or build on top of them. Otherwise if the GWT team decides to change something it will break their code.

I guess that's the reason why createHeaders() is private.
