public class UICTable
extends JTable

A replacement for the JTable to make the programmers life a lot easier. This table uses various settings by default that makes your table look quite finished without any tweaking.
On top of that the table provides tooltips per row and provides getters for the various models a table uses, which tend te get quite confusing in the original JTable.

Specific changes;

• Use columns that are sized to fit
• Disable features you probably never used, but got confused when you accedently did.
• Made the table rows indent and coloring consistent and overall nice.
• Add a table sorter by default
• Add a keylistener by default (so you can hit a key and go to that row)
• Fixed some bugs in tooltip usage.
• Probably more..
