[Advanced-java] Horizontally Scroll in JTable (WrappedbyJScrollPane)

[Alvin Wang]

Thanks for all the replies. However, is there a way we can let JTable decide
the width it needs to fully display the data for each column? I do not want
to hardcode the column width since it is hard to predict the data that will
be displayed.

Thanks!
