How do I set the width of a JTable column?

you should do something like this:

TableColumn column=jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(1); column.setMinWidth(0); column.setMaxWidth(300); column.setPreferredWidth(15);

Setting

column.setMinWidth(0);
column.setMaxWidth(300);

is not nessesary, but you'll be sure that desired width fits in this range.
