make a jscrollpane (containing a jtable) fill its container

Question

I have a JTable with autoResizeMode set to AUTO_RESIZE_LAST_COLUMN. I have added it to a panel by creating a JScrollPane with the JTable as its child widget, and then adding the JScrollPane to the panel.

I would like to set the size of the JScrollPane viewport to that of the parent JPanel, and have the JTable resize its last column dynamically.

What did you try sofar ? what exaclty doesnt work ? SHow a simple example that actually runs and describe what isent working. — Peter, Feb 06 '12 at 06:34
in Swing/AWT, the concept of "set size to .." is incorrect - locating/sizing is the job of the LayoutManager, which all behave differently. Developers choose one which produces the result they want to achieve :-) — kleopatra, Feb 06 '12 at 09:13

I think if you make the JPanel use GridLayout(1,1) and add the JScrollPane to it then you will get the desired result.

Downvoted because this answer doesn't actually show the code for what to do, and it's unclear (at least to me) exactly what is being suggested. – JakeRobb Aug 17 '16 at 14:17

The first answer on this link How to make a JTable fill entire available space? worked perfectly for me.

I did the following

myPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout());
myJtable = new JTable(MyTableModel);
myPanel.add(new JScrollPane(myJtable));
