make a jscrollpane (containing a jtable) fill its container

Question

I have a JTable with autoResizeMode set to AUTO_RESIZE_LAST_COLUMN. I have added it to a panel by creating a JScrollPane with the JTable as its child widget, and then adding the JScrollPane to the panel.

I would like to set the size of the JScrollPane viewport to that of the parent JPanel, and have the JTable resize its last column dynamically.

Answer 1

JPanel have got implemented FlowLayout by defaut, you can place JScrollPane to the BorderLayout.CENTER

Answer 2

I think if you make the JPanel use GridLayout(1,1) and add the JScrollPane to it then you will get the desired result.
