title: presenting string and date data types in a jtable
body: <p>I have a jtable with columns for both string and date data types.
   but for now every information is presented as a string data 
   I will like to present date data types in the jtable's 
   date columns.</p>
  
  <p>I also present below codes for the data model</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
  
      private List&lt;List&lt;Object&gt;&gt; dataList = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();
       private String[] header = { "ID","SUBJECT","LETTTER FROM","LETTER DATE","DATE RECEIED",
                                    "REMARKS","DATE DISPATCHED","DESTINATION OFFICE"};
  
  
  
      public List&lt;List&lt;Object&gt;&gt; getDataList() {
          return dataList;
      }
  
      public void setDataList(List&lt;List&lt;Object&gt;&gt; dataList) {       
          this.dataList = dataList;
          fireTableDataChanged();       
          fireTableStructureChanged();        
      }
  
      public void setHeader(String[] header) {
          this.header = header;
      }
  
      public String[] getHeader() {
          return header;
      }
  
      @Override
      public int getRowCount() {
          return dataList.size();
      }
  
      @Override
      public int getColumnCount() {
          return header.length;
      }
  
      @Override
     public String getColumnName(int col) {
      return header[col];
     }
  
      @Override
      public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { 
      return dataList.get(row).get(col);
      }
  
  }
