Answer 1

You can do this:

JPanel jp = new JPanel();
jp.add(table);

jp.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1)); /* little trick ;) and believe me that this step is important to the automatic all columns resize! A import is also needed for using GridLayout*/
table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS); // this is obvius part
