How to do a good use of JTable Swing ?

[Florent Coué]

Hello,

I'm looking for a good example of program using JTable swing to have a
sorted table with icon in the header indicating the sort direction. Do you
know an structured example who shows how and where add components, events,
renderer, ... ?

Thanks for help
Florent

I'm looking for a good example of program using JTable swing to have a
sorted table with icon in the header indicating the sort direction. Do you
know an structured example who shows how and where add components, events,
renderer, ... ?

From time to time I post the following list. It contains a pointer to
some web pages at gol.com. They contain many (sometimes outdates) Swing
examples, including a lot of stuff for JTable. Sun's Swing tutorial, as
well as AFAIR at least one TSC article also discuss JTable usage.
Again, pointers below.

BTW: There is a separate GUI newsgroup, comp.lang.java.gui for such
questions.
