JTable, make cell text multiline

Question

I have a JTable where each cell occupy the same amount of space, but somethimes happen that text doesn't fit well inside cell, so i can't read entire content. There's a way to adapt each table row height for show correctly all its content? So each table row could have different height, and the maximum heigth o row is the minimum height to contain thew most long text

See `TextAreaRenderer` presented [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/20339015/1795530) that uses a `JTextArea` with line wrap active in order to achieve what you want. — dic19, Jan 14 '15 at 14:03

You can set the row height individually. When any value is changed, call this code:

int height = table.getRowHeight(row);
int newHeight  = table.prepareRenderer(table.getCellRenderer(row, column), row, column).getPreferredSize().height;
if (newHeight > height) {
    height = newHeight;
}
table.setRowHeight(row, rowHeight);
