JTableAnnotations is a simple project to help you build JTable easier. It configures and populate your JTable based on annotations.

Basically you must annotated your entities: (there is a lot of CoC) @JTableConfiguration(rowHeight=48) public class Product { @JTableColumnConfiguration(order=1,width=55) private Long id; @JTableColumnConfiguration(order=2,width=300,editable=true,align=Align.CENTER) private String name; @JTableColumnConfiguration(order=3,name="Price",decimalFormat="U$ 0.00") private BigDecimal value; @JTableColumnConfiguration(order=4,name="Costumer Name",width=300) private Customer customer; @JTableColumnConfiguration(order=0,name="Photo",cellRender=IconCellRender.class) private String picturePath; And then you just populate your jtable: Customer master = new Customer(); master.setName("Master"); master.setUserName("Admin"); list = new ArrayList<Product>(); list.add( createProduct( master, 0L, "Nintendo Wii", "pictures/wii.jpg", new BigDecimal(999.50)) ); list.add( createProduct( master, 1L, "XBox360", "pictures/xbox360.jpg", new BigDecimal(1020.85)) ); list.add( createProduct( master, 2L, "PS3", "pictures/ps3.jpg", new BigDecimal(1000.0)) ); list.add( createProduct( master, 3L, "PSP", "pictures/psp.jpg", new BigDecimal(490.0)) ); list.add( createProduct( master, 4L, "Nintendo DS", "pictures/nds.jpg", new BigDecimal(359.59015)) ); new Configurator().configureAndPopulateJTable(jTable, list); And You got it! http://jtableannotations.googlecode.com/files/jtable%20annotation%20sample.JPG
