Probably a FAQ... but here goes...

How do I force all JTable column entries to be right aligned or center
aligned?  It appears the default is left aligned.

Thanks,

Jack

Jack,

I beleive you will need to implement your own table model. The Java tutorial
at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html is
what I read through to get around a similar problem. I created my own table
model and used a custom renderer.

class MyJLabelRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {

    // constructor
    MyJLabelRenderer() {
        this.setHorizontalAlignment(CENTER);
    }

    // returns component to use as renderer
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object
value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
        // could have some other logic in here...
        return this;
    }
}
