Every time I have used JTables all cells were the same height in the
table. Is that always true? Can some rows be taller than others?

Has anyone ever nested JTables, put a scrolling Jtable in a cell and
allowed editing of both the inner and outer tables. Is that a totally
mad notion?

Turns you can change the row height of each row individually from the
default 16 pixels. JTable.setRowHeight. Of course you can change
column widths too with TableColumn.setColumnWidth.

For JList, setFixedCellHeight(-1) will make it take cell height from the
ListCellRenderer (the default). With JTable it's tough. Unless you want
to try something peculiar, like using a JTable as a JList cell renderer.
