    Constructors in javax.swing with parameters of type TableModel
    Constructor and Description
    `JTable(TableModel dm)` Constructs a `JTable` that is initialized with `dm` as the data model, a default column model, and a default selection model.
    `JTable(TableModel dm, TableColumnModel cm)` Constructs a `JTable` that is initialized with `dm` as the data model, `cm` as the column model, and a default selection model.
    `JTable(TableModel dm, TableColumnModel cm, ListSelectionModel sm)` Constructs a `JTable` that is initialized with `dm` as the data model, `cm` as the column model, and `sm` as the selection model.

  - ### Uses of TableModel in javax.swing.event

    Constructors in javax.swing.event with parameters of type TableModel
    Constructor and Description
    `TableModelEvent(TableModel source)` All row data in the table has changed, listeners should discard any state that was based on the rows and requery the `TableModel` to get the new row count and all the appropriate values.
    `TableModelEvent(TableModel source, int row)` This row of data has been updated.
    `TableModelEvent(TableModel source, int firstRow, int lastRow)` The data in rows [firstRow, lastRow] have been updated.
    `TableModelEvent(TableModel source, int firstRow, int lastRow, int column)` The cells in column column in the range [firstRow, lastRow] have been updated.
    `TableModelEvent(TableModel source, int firstRow, int lastRow, int column, int type)` The cells from (firstRow, column) to (lastRow, column) have been changed.

    Classes in javax.swing.table with type parameters of type TableModel
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `TableRowSorter<M extends TableModel>` An implementation of `RowSorter` that provides sorting and filtering using a `TableModel`.

    Classes in javax.swing.table that implement TableModel
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `AbstractTableModel` This abstract class provides default implementations for most of the methods in the `TableModel` interface.
    `class` | `DefaultTableModel` This is an implementation of `TableModel` that uses a `Vector` of `Vectors` to store the cell value objects.

    Methods in javax.swing.table with parameters of type TableModel
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
