In thiscode i try to appear table in JTextPane Basically you add the component throught the JTextPane model which is the document; the new style contain the table as an attribute and registered with StyleConstants
try this ( not tested)
StyleContext context = new StyleContext();
    StyledDocument document = new DefaultStyledDocument(context);
    Style tableStyle = context.getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
    TableModel model = new DefaultTableModel( new Object[]{"col1", "col2"}, 2);
    JTable table = new JTable(model);
    StyleConstants.setComponent(tableStyle, table);
    try {
      document.insertString(document.getLength(), "this will not show", tableStyle );
    } catch (BadLocationException badLocationException) {
      System.err.println("Oops");
    JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane(document);
    textPane.setEditable(false);
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane);Why you do not build an html page which contains the table and set the text on the JTextPane to this page( String); then add hyperlinkListener so that you can rebuild the html table upon an predefined different links inside the html table
Hope this could help. Please give me a shout in case you need further help
