Wendy's answer is right on.  JTable is pretty worthless outside of a
JScrollPane and the connection between the two is not really obvious.  From
the documentation, I thought adding JTable to a JScrollPane was an added
feature that I didn't want to experiment with until I got my JTable
configured correctly.  Also, the effects of JScrollPane on the JTable it
contains are significant -- beyond just scrolling.  There is the way the
ScrollPane handles the headers (column header AND row header), but also the
sizing of column widths.  I would make the first sentence of the JTable docs
say, "This control is best used inside of JScrollPane" -- in boldface.
