The job of a JScrollPane is to take a large component and allow you to 
see it in an smaller screen area.  So what is the "right" size for the 
JScrollPane?

If you know what the "right" size is, you can specify it by calling the 
JTable's setPreferredScrollableViewportSize() method.  But otherwise, it 
has to guess at what size is "right".

The use of JFrame or JDialog has nothing to do with this issue.  A 
JDialog can be modal, whereas a JFrame cannot.  A JDialog will be 
minimized along with its parent frame, whereas a JFrame will not.  The 
decorations are different, and I am sure there are other differences as 
well.
