Question

I have two JTables that I would like displayed in one window. Currently I am able to display only one of the tables using:

JTable table1 = makeTable(1);
JTable table2 = makeTable(2);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(table1);
JScrollPane scrollPane2 = new JScrollPane(table2);
frame.add(scrollPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.validate();
frame.add(scrollPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
//frame.add(scrollPane2, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(700, 500);

frame.setVisible(true);
frame.validate();

What is the simplest way to display multiple tables, one on top of the other (though orientation is irrevelant) using Swing?

Answer 1

You can’t add both JTables to the same position in the BorderLayout.

What you can do is the following:

frame.add(scrollPane1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.add(scrollPane2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.validate();
