return "NatTable is highly configurable. The configuration objects also very modular. NatTable has default configuration that "
+ "comes attached to its various layer implementations, so that in many cases all you need to do is assemble a layer stack "
+ "and all the key/mouse bindings, styling, etc. that you need to interact with and visualize the functionality within your "
+ "layer assembly will automatically be there for you to use.\n"
+ "\n"
+ "If you want to augment, customize, or override the default configuration you can do this by adding an IConfiguration to "
+ "a layer in your layer stack. IConfiguration objects allow you to encapsulate three kinds of configurations:\n"
+ " * UI binding configuration - keyboard and mouse bindings\n"
+ " * ConfigRegistry configuration - configuration associated with display modes and config labels (e.g. styles, cell "
+ " painters, cell editors, etc.)\n"
+ " * Layer configuration - configuration pertaining to the entire layer (e.g. layer painters, persistors, etc.)\n"
+ "\n"
+ "This example shows how to apply a pre-canned configuration to a NatTable instance. It attaches a right-click popup menu "
+ "to the column header. Note that in order to add a configuration to NatTable, you have to set the autoconfigure parameter "
+ "in the NatTable constructor to false and then you must explicitly call NatTable.configure() after you have added your "
+ "configurations. Otherwise NatTable will automatically call configure() on itself during construction.";
