Read file into a table

Question

Is there a way of reading content of a file into a table? what if that file is overwritten each x minutes for update?

Answer 1

yes sure.
JSplitPane's can hold two components - so your table can be one of the components, and some other feature e.g. a JPanel (which is containing other components in turn) is the other component.
e.g.
JSplitPane mainSplitPane_LeftRight = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT); // or JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT
mainSplitPane_LeftRight.setOneTouchExpandable(true); // set whether you want to be able to maximize one of the components in the JSplitPane using a button on the divider
// component 1 of splitpane
JTable yourTable = new JTable(); // initialise with your code here
// component 2 of splitpane
JTree tree = new JTree(); // example component
yourTable.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10, 10)); // this ensures we can always move the dividers
tree.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10, 10)); // this ensures we can always move the dividers
// add the components
mainSplitPane_LeftRight.setLeftComponent(yourTable);
mainSplitPane_LeftRight.setRightComponent(tree);
// then now we have a populated JSplitPane which you may wanna shove into a JFrame??
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tester");
frame.getContentPane().add(mainSplitPane_LeftRight);
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.show(); // show it.Hope that helped.
