[SNMP4J] Updating registered managed objects (adding rows to MIB table)

Frank, 

I must have missed it. Sorry about that. 

This solves the problem of adding rows to a registered table. I assume
similarly one could also remove rows (removeRow function). However, when
such updates are done on an already registered table, the state of the table
is updated automatically (newly added rows become accessible immediately
when added) or I need to deregister the table and register it again ?

Marek,

"Can I just use addRow on the MOMutableTableModel type?"
Yes, that's what I wrote.

Best regards,
Frank
