TableFilter
TableFilter is a set of Swing components to support user-driven filtering on tables: it is, currently, the more comprehensive table filter for Java (Swing), offering a filtering of the type found in Microsoft Excel. It is freely available, under MIT license, working under Java 6 or later. You can try it with this example application as Jar file. There is a separate Java 5 version, but it is, since November 2012 (version 4.5.0), not longer maintained.
A single line of code is sufficient to associate a filter to a table:
TableFilterHeader filterHeader = new TableFilterHeader(table, AutoChoices.ENABLED);
Since version 3.0 the Gui ensures full consistency among platforms, simplifying the development and usage of the library.
