/*from   w w w  .j av a2s .c  om*/
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Vector;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel();
    JTable table = new JTable(model);
    model.addColumn("Col1");
    model.addRow(new Object[] { "r1" });
    model.addRow(new Object[] { "r2" });
    model.addRow(new Object[] { "r3" });
    
    Vector data = model.getDataVector();
    Vector row = (Vector) data.elementAt(1);

    int mColIndex = 0;
    List colData = new ArrayList(table.getRowCount());
    for (int i = 0; i < table.getRowCount(); i++) {
      row = (Vector) data.elementAt(i);
      colData.add(row.get(mColIndex));
    }

    // Append a new column with copied data
    model.addColumn("Col3", colData.toArray());
    
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setSize(300, 300);
    f.add(new JScrollPane(table));
    f.setVisible(true);
  }
