Answer 1

A minimal example I made is provided below. I gives the following form of output:

First Name: Kathy
Last Name: Smith
Sport: Snowboarding
# of Years: 5

First Name: John
Last Name: Doe
Sport: Rowing
# of Years: 2

        String[] columnNames = {"First Name", "Last Name","Sport","# of Years"};

    Object[][] data = {
            {"Kathy", "Smith", "Snowboarding", "5"},
            {"John", "Doe", "Rowing", "2"},
            {"Sue", "Black", "Knitting", "8"},
            {"Jane", "White", "Speed reading", "10"},
            {"Joe", "Brown", "Pool", "20"}
    };

    JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);

    for(int row = 0; row < table.getRowCount(); row++) {

        for(int column = 0; column < table.getColumnCount(); column++) {
            System.out.print(table.getColumnName(column) + ": ");
            System.out.println(table.getValueAt(row, column));
        }
        System.out.println(""); // Add line space
    }
