Content of the Tongue File

• Save this file unter this path with the name "./resources/de/dc/fx/tongue/demo/person/PersonTableView.tongue".
• Open this file in the Tongue TreeViewer Editor
• Generate BaseController, Controller, Binding Model, Model and Id classes
• Enhanced the controller class with row creation content.
