If you run the small sample below you'll see a border around the center region. I'm not sure why this border is showing.
It happens when a JTable is in a JScrollPane. I tried various things to remove it but so far no luck. A JTable without the JScrollPane shows no border.
See sample below. TIA.
public class TestScrollPane extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new TestScrollPane();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JTable table = new JTable();
panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(new JLabel("NORTH"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
panel.add(new JLabel("SOUTH"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(table);
// None of these have any effect
sp.setBorder(null);
sp.getInsets().set(0, 0, 0, 0);
sp.setViewportBorder(null);
sp.getViewport().setBorder(null);
sp.getViewport().getInsets().set(0, 0, 0, 0);
sp.getViewport().setOpaque(true);
panel.add(sp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// Adding the table alone shows no border
// panel.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public TestScrollPane() throws HeadlessException {
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setMinimumSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
}
}
Use BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder() instead of null...
by using:
sp.setBorder(createEmptyBorder());
it works.
Your main method becomes:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new TestScrollPane();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JTable table = new JTable();
panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(new JLabel("NORTH"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
panel.add(new JLabel("SOUTH"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(table);
sp.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());
panel.add(sp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
