JavaFX component that emulates JTable

Question

I have a large dataset that needs to be displayed to users and is looking for Swing JTable as a component in JavaFX .

Answer 1

I recommend that you read a recent Amy Fowler blog post (especially paragraph 6):

Any Swing component can be embedded in a JavaFX scene graph using the SwingComponent wrap () function. This allows you to directly use Swing components that you have already configured, configured and connected to your application data; all that Java code can remain happily unmodified. Once you have created the structure of your scene layout, you can drag the Swing components to the appropriate places.

Answer 2

Use the TableView control.

• javadoc
• tutorial

TableView is a “virtualized” control that efficiently reuses a small number of node cells to represent a view in potentially very large datasets.

Note. The other answers on this page that were written before 2012 relate to JavaFX 1.x and are deprecated.

Answer 3

You can port the JTable to be used in JavaFX. Check out the next article http://java.dzone.com/articles/javafx-reintroduce-swing-jtabl
