Answer 1

end user requirement is that the the description may be of 2 to 3 lines

I assume that you are trying to display data in multiple lines in a JTable cell. An example which I have tried to show data in multiple lines within a cell.

As @Sergii has suggested use JTable.setRowHeight to increase the height of the cell. The data column cell is rendered with JTextArea.

public class JTableCellTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Runnable r = new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                Object[] columnNames = {"S.No", "Data"};
                Object[][] data = {
                                        {"1", "I'm going to create application in that to enter invoice i've created form in which i have used JTable but end user requirement is that the the description may be of 2 to 3 lines.\n I'm going to create application in that to enter invoice i've created form in which i have used JTable but end user requirement is that the the description may be of 2 to 3 lines. \n I'm going to create application in that to enter invoice i've created form in which i have used JTable but end user requirement is that the the description may be of 2 to 3 lines"},

                JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
                table.setRowHeight(70);

Answer 2

• JTable->TableColumnModel->TableColum (change size of column, and just investigate editor and render)
• JTable-setRowHeight (change height of row)
