   public class stackq extends AbstractTableModel {
    Vector data;
    Vector columns;

    public stackq() {
            String line;
            data = new Vector();
            columns = new Vector();
            try {
                    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("D:/joy/text/people.txt");
                    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis));
                    StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(br.readLine(), " ");
                    while (st1.hasMoreTokens())
                            columns.addElement(st1.nextToken());
                    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                            StringTokenizer st2 = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
                            while (st2.hasMoreTokens())
                                    data.addElement(st2.nextToken());
                    }
                    br.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
            }
    }

    public int getRowCount() {
            return data.size() / getColumnCount();
    }

    public int getColumnCount() {
            return columns.size();
    }

    public Object getValueAt(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
            return (String) data.elementAt((rowIndex * getColumnCount())
                            + columnIndex);
    }

     public String getColumnName(int i){
         return (String)columns.get(i);
              }


      public static void main(String s[]) {
            stackq model = new stackq();
            JTable table = new JTable();
            table.setModel(model);
           JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);
            JPanel panel = new JPanel();
            panel.add(scrollpane);
            JFrame frame = new JFrame();
            frame.add(panel, "Center");
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
         }
      }

Thank You So much.

public Stackq() {
String line;
data = new Vector();
columns = new Vector();
int count = 0;
try {
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("D:\\1.txt");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis));
    StringTokenizer st1 = new StringTokenizer(br.readLine(), " ");
    while (st1.hasMoreTokens()) {
    columns.addElement(st1.nextToken());
    count++;
    }
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    StringTokenizer st2 = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        if (st2.hasMoreTokens())
        data.addElement(st2.nextToken());
        else
        data.addElement("");
    }
    }
    br.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Just add one count variable for header count, and add the empty string into the data vector where tokenizer returns null.

Why don't you use the DefaultTableModel to represent the data in your table? It will take care of all the Swing-related stuff for you, and you can easily add columns or rows to it, using addColumn(Object) and addRow(Object[]), respectively.

First, you would create a DefaultTableModel object.

Then, instead of doing creating a Vector columns, you'd just fill the model by doing

model.addColumn(st1.nextToken()); // (for adding a column)

or

Vector row = new Vector();
StringTokenizer st2 = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
while (st2.hasMoreTokens()) {
    row.add(st2.nextToken());
}
result.addRow(row); // for adding a row

Try this If you are using NetBean, where you can bind List of Object to table and Bind Column with respective value empMList is list of Employee.

org.jdesktop.swingbinding.JTableBinding jTableBinding = org.jdesktop.swingbinding.SwingBindings.createJTableBinding(org.jdesktop.beansbinding.AutoBinding.UpdateStrategy.READ_WRITE, empMList, jTable1);
        org.jdesktop.swingbinding.JTableBinding.ColumnBinding columnBinding = jTableBinding.addColumnBinding(org.jdesktop.beansbinding.ELProperty.create("${address}"));
        columnBinding.setColumnName("Address");
        columnBinding.setColumnClass(String.class);
        columnBinding = jTableBinding.addColumnBinding(org.jdesktop.beansbinding.ELProperty.create("${name}"));
        columnBinding.setColumnName("Employee Name");
        columnBinding.setColumnClass(String.class);
        columnBinding.setEditable(false);
        bindingGroup.addBinding(jTableBinding);
