working on a gui app in Eclipse using windowsbuilder plugin. The app works just fine. but the jTable won't resize when I drag the edges of the window. or when I maximize the app. There are other components on the window which I would like to automatically resize; however, the jtable is the one that is a must for me. when I maximize the window the table stays the same size. I'm using Absolute Layout for the layout manager. so positioning the elements on the window was just a matter of drag and drop. I have looked for the properties that allow me to set resize = true or something similar and I found autoRisizeMode. so I set it to true. that didn't work. any suggestions? Here's the code for my Gui initialize() method
