If you check the API doc for JTable you will find a choice of constructors that let you supply the data as a simple 2D array (see the doc for all the options) such as

new JTable(Object[][] rowData, Object[] columnNames);

It won't be hard to put your data into a 2D array of Integers, and the column headings into an array of Strings.

The API doc also has extensive discussion and examples for other ways to populate a table with data.

The Oracle Java Tutorials are an excellent source of info like this - see

1. create DefaultTableModel for JTable

2. in DefaultTableModel, there to override

   • public Class<?> getColumnClass(int column) { seems like as there are numbers only, then with Long or Double.Class

   • public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) { returns false (non-editable) for column contains sum, result

   • public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) { there inside you must to call super.setValueAt(aValue, rowIndex, columnIndex); == value enterer by user, then loop inside int rowIndex and to create formula with output to the (undeditable) column contains sum or result, again with super.setValueAt(sum, i, columnIndex);

   • you can to bothering with AbstractTableModel, but I can't found any reason for

   • short cut - is quite easier to search for good code based on AbstractTableModel

   • for mouse and key events over JTable to define JTable.putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE);

3. everything about my a.m. points, details, good practiques is quite good described in official Oracle tutorial How to use Tables
