Please ask Swing questions in the Swing forum next time.

Roughly about the first part - because I don't know and won't bother to look it up: FontMetrics can tell you how long a certain String is in pixels. You can set the column's width to a value larger than that on each value submission.

About the second part: put your JTable into a JScrollPane.

Here's the source code for a full standalone utility class I posted a few years back.

It'll resizes any JTable you pass to it.

But you will want to put your JTable in a scrollpane to allow for large JTables beyond the width of the screen / window.
