Question

Answer 1

Overriding the prepareRender(...) method of the JTable allows you to customize rendering for the entire row without providing custom renderers.

The basic logic would be something like:

JTable table = new JTable( model )
{
    public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column)
    {
        Component c = super.prepareRenderer(renderer, row, column);

        //  Alternate row color

        if (!isRowSelected(row))
            c.setBackground(row % 2 == 0 ? getBackground() : Color.LIGHT_GRAY);

        return c;
    }
};
