My Code So Far:

import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;

public class readtext {
    static public void main(String[] arg){
        JScrollPane scroll;
        JTable table;
        DefaultTableModel model;
        String fname="people";
        try
        {
            FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("D:/joy/text/"+fname+".txt");


            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
            String strLine,str = null;
            //Read File Line By Line
            String text = "";
            Vector myVector = new Vector();
            while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) //loop through each line
            {
                myVector.add(strLine );
                // Print the content on the console
                text +=(strLine+"\n");  // Store the text file in the string
            }
            in.close();//Close the input stream
            int i=0;
            String fline=myVector.elementAt(0).toString();
            String[] sp=fline.split("\\s+");
            for(String spt:sp){
                System.out.println(spt);
                //model = new DefaultTableModel(spt, );   // I dont know how to put the strings
                into Jtable here
                table = new JTable(){
                    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column){
                        return false;
                    }
                };
                int a=0;// for text box name
                for(i=1;i<myVector.size();i++){
                    str=myVector.elementAt(i).toString();
                    String[] res =str.split("\\s+");
                    int k=0;
                    for(String st:res)
                    System.out.println(st);
                k++;a++; }
        } }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();

Well i didnt read ur code...however i'm telling u one of the simplest way of doing this...hope this helps

Define a DefaultTableModel:

String columns[] =  {  //Column Names// };
    JTable contactTable = new JTable();
    DefaultTableModel tableModel;
    // specify number of columns
    tableModel = new DefaultTableModel(0,2); 
    tableModel.setColumnIdentifiers(columns);
    contactTable.setModel(tableModel);

Reading from text file:

String line;
BufferedReader reader;
    try{       
        reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
        while((line = reader.readLine()) != null) 
        {
           tableModel.addRow(line.split(", ")); 
        }
        reader.close();
     }
    catch(IOException e){
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error");
e.printStackTrace();

    }

Also, if you want to allow users to edit the data, then you need to set a TableCellEditor on the cells that you want people to edit. You probably also want to start using a TableModel instead of hard coding the data in the JTable itself.
