e918. Setting the Column Resize Mode of a JTable Component

Resizing the width of a column can affect the widths of the other columns in the table. There are several resizing modes available. The default is AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS.
    // Disable auto resizing
    table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
    
    // When the width of a column is changed,
    // the width of the right-most column is changed
    // so that the width of the entire table does not change
    table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_LAST_COLUMN);
    
    // When the width of a column is changed,
    // all columns to the right are resized so that the width
    // of the entire table does not change
    table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS);
    
    // When the width of a column is changed,
    // only the columns to the left and right of the
    // margin change
    table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN);
    
    // When the width of a column is changed,
    // the widths of all columns are changed
    // so that the width of the entire table does not change
    table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS);
