FastJTable

Swing JTables of Java by default does not handle frequent updates and a huge number of columns and rows. I created a lighted version of JTable called FastJTable based on the code of the Java Christmas Tree.

This implementation is pretty faster when handling huge amounts of data. Consider taking a look at how the memory works if this is your use case.
