Table Render Demo Application 7.0

Table Render Demo Application is a lightweight sample program from The Java Tutorial by Sun Microsystems that showcases how to customize the appearance and behavior of table cells in Swing’s JTable component. It demonstrates practical techniques for creating and registering custom TableCellRenderer and TableCellEditor classes, so different data types—such as text, numbers, booleans, icons, and colors—display and edit appropriately in the same table.

The demo highlights common UI patterns developers often need:

• Conditional formatting based on cell values
• Type-specific renderers and editors (for example, checkboxes for booleans)
• Consistent alignment and number formatting
• Column-specific customization and tool tips
• Responsive visual updates when the model changes

Designed as a teaching aid, the application helps developers understand the interplay between the table model, renderers, and editors, providing a clear starting point for building richer, more readable data grids in Java desktop applications. It runs on standard Java SE and is suitable for learning or adapting into production-quality tables.
