Not sure it is related to your question, but in case you want to init UITableView controller with xib, Xcode 6.3 beta 4 Release Notes provide a workaround:

• In your Swift project, create a new empty iOS Objective-C file. This will trigger a sheet asking you “Would you like to configure an Objective-C bridging header.”
• Tap “Yes” to create a bridging header
• Inside [YOURPROJECTNAME]-Bridging-Header.h add the following code:

@import UIKit;
@interface UITableViewController() // Extend UITableViewController to work around 19775924
- (instancetype)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER ;
@end
