title: Setting the Box's size
body: <p>This may seem like a stupid question, but I would like to change the size of a 'box' in my jFrame.  I will include the code and a picture.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the JTableResultSet class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.sql.*;
  import java.util.*;
  import javax.swing.*;
  import javax.swing.table.TableColumn;
  
  public class JTableResultSet {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          Vector columnNames = new Vector();
          Vector data = new Vector();
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();   //
          try {
              Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
              Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/exper482_social", "admin", "testing");
              String sql = "Select username, forename, lastname, password from social_users";
              Statement statement = con.createStatement();
              ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(sql);
              ResultSetMetaData metaData = resultSet.getMetaData();
              int columns = metaData.getColumnCount();
              for (int i = 1; i &lt;= columns; i++) {
                  columnNames.addElement(metaData.getColumnName(i));
              }
              while (resultSet.next()) {
                  Vector row = new Vector(columns);
                  for (int i = 1; i &lt;= columns; i++) {
                      row.addElement(resultSet.getObject(i));
                  }
                  data.addElement(row);
              }
              resultSet.close();
              statement.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
              System.out.println(e);
          }
          JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
          TableColumn column;
          for (int i = 0; i &lt; table.getColumnCount(); i++) {
              column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
              column.setMaxWidth(250);//250
          }
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);        
          panel.add(scrollPane);       
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.add(panel);//adding panel to the frame
          frame.setSize(600, 400); //setting frame size 600 400
          frame.setVisible(true);  //setting visibility true
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
