JAvA: how to create a very simple JTable ?

[johhnyBravo]

i am writing a program that requires the data be outputted in a table style

so i thought to use the JTable. Ive searched up the web for examples, but all i could find is one that requires you to create a class and then call that class to make the table.

i dont want that, i just want to create a table simply, which i can load in a 2 Dimensional array. eg 3 columns, and lots of rows.

anyone?

Is this a DOS based program? Is the Data going to be outputted to a file or to the user via a GUI? A JTable would be best but you could just use a multidimensional array if you wanted to. Problem is that when using arrays to present data you always end up using tabs '\t' to line up the data correctly when is a pain in the A$$.

im using an applet.
and the data must be shown in a table.
so i want to use a jtable but dont know how.

Ok. So you do want a JTable. Ill let you worry about the Applet part.

 
 import java.awt.*; 
 import java.awt.event.*;
 import javax.swing.*; 
 
 class G{
  public static void main(String[] args){

  JFrame jf = new JFrame("Inventory"); 
  Container c = jf.getContentPane();
  
  Object[] colnames = {"zooks", "zanks", "dips", "doodles"};
 
  Object[][] data = {
   {"Red", null, new Integer(50), new Integer(23)}, 
   {"Blue", new Integer(25), null , null}, 
   {"Purple", new Integer(74), new Integer(98), null},
   {"Green", new Integer(16), new Integer(72), null}, 
   {"Yellow", new Integer(16), new Integer(72), null},
   {"Black", null, new Integer(54), null},
   {"Brown", null, new Integer(50), new Integer(23)}, 
   {"Teal", new Integer(25), null , null}, 
   {"Aqua", new Integer(74), new Integer(98), null},
   {"Peach", new Integer(16), new Integer(72), null}, 
   {"Mango", new Integer(16), new Integer(72), null},
   {"Orange", null, new Integer(54), null},          
  }; 

  jf.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
   public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we){
    System.exit(0);
   }
  });

  JTable jt = new JTable(data, colnames);
  JScrollPane scrollableTable = new JScrollPane(jt); 
  c.add(scrollableTable);
  jf.setSize(500, 150);  
  jf.setVisible(true); 
  
 }
}
