I have a JTable that is within a JScrollPane. Rows are added to the table at runtime based on events that happen in my application. I want to have the scoll pane scroll to the bottom of the table when a new row is added to the table.

For JLists There is the [ensureIndexIsVisible][1]() that forces a particular index in the list to be visible. I'm looking for the same thing but for a JTable. It looks like I might have to manually move the scrolling view on the scroll pane but I figured there had to be an easier way.

It's very easy, JTable has scrollRectToVisible method too. If you want, you can try something like this to make scrollpane go to to the bottom if a new record is added :

jTable1.getSelectionModel().setSelectionInterval(i, i);
jTable1.scrollRectToVisible(new Rectangle(jTable1.getCellRect(i, 0, true)));

Where i is last added record.
