JAvA: how to create a very simple JTable ?

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. :p Ill let you worry about the Applet part. ;)

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