在这里我找到了我的答案:

这个想法是检查一些行的内容长度来调整列宽.
在文章中,作者在可下载的java文件中提供了一个完整的代码.
JTable table = new JTable( ... );
table.setAutoResizeMode( JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF );
for (int column = 0; column < table.getColumnCount(); column++)
{
TableColumn tableColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column);
int preferredWidth = tableColumn.getMinWidth();
int maxWidth = tableColumn.getMaxWidth();
for (int row = 0; row < table.getRowCount(); row++)
{
TableCellRenderer cellRenderer = table.getCellRenderer(row, column);
Component c = table.prepareRenderer(cellRenderer, row, column);
int width = c.getPreferredSize().width + table.getIntercellSpacing().width;
preferredWidth = Math.max(preferredWidth, width);
// We've exceeded the maximum width, no need to check other rows
if (preferredWidth >= maxWidth)
{
preferredWidth = maxWidth;
break;
}
}
tableColumn.setPreferredWidth( preferredWidth );
}
