How to remove/set JTextArea border in JTable cell in Nimbus look and feel

Edit: I have added a SSCCE code

I have extended JTextArea in TableCellRenderer because I wanted to achieve the Multiline text wrapping Mentioned in this SO question and that is working fine. Now I have ran into weird problem with Nimbus look and feel. Nimbus is adding a border with every cell as shown in the below picture. enter image description here

My Class:

import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class TestJTableMultiline extends JFrame {
  /**

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public TestJTableMultiline() {
    super("Multi-Line Cell Example");
    setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    DefaultTableModel dm = new DefaultTableModel() {
      /**

        private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    public Class<String> getColumnClass(int columnIndex) {
        return String.class;
      }
      public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
        return false;
      }
    };
    dm.setDataVector(
        new Object[][]{
            {"A0, Line1\nA0, Line2\nA0, Line3", 
             "B0, Line1\nB0, Line2",

    getContentPane().add(scroll);
    setLocationByPlatform(true);
    setSize(400, 430);
    setVisible(true);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
      try{
            for (LookAndFeelInfo info : UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
                if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                    System.out.println("choosed nimbus");
                    break;
                }
            }
            }catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
    TestJTableMultiline frame = new TestJTableMultiline();   
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
        System.exit(0);
      }
    });
  }
}

class MultiLineTableCellRenderer extends JTextArea 
implements TableCellRenderer {
/**

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private List<List<Integer>> rowColHeight = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();

public MultiLineTableCellRenderer() {
  setLineWrap(true);
  setWrapStyleWord(true);
  setOpaque(true);
}

@Override
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(
    JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
    int row, int column) {
  if (isSelected) {
    setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
    setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
  } else {
    setForeground(table.getForeground());
    setBackground(table.getBackground());
  }
  setFont(table.getFont());
  if (hasFocus) {
    setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("Table.focusCellHighlightBorder"));
    if (table.isCellEditable(row, column)) {
      setForeground(UIManager.getColor("Table.focusCellForeground"));
      setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Table.focusCellBackground"));
    }
  } else {
    setBorder(new EmptyBorder(1, 2, 1, 2));
  }
  if (value != null) {
    setText(value.toString());
  } else {
    setText("");
  }
  adjustRowHeight(table, row, column);
  return this;
}

/**
 * Calculate the new preferred height for a given row, and sets the height on the table.
 */
private void adjustRowHeight(JTable table, int row, int column) {
  //The trick to get this to work properly is to set the width of the column to the 
  //textarea. The reason for this is that getPreferredSize(), without a width tries 
  //to place all the text in one line. By setting the size with the with of the column, 
  //getPreferredSize() returnes the proper height which the row should have in
  //order to make room for the text.
  int cWidth = table.getTableHeader().getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getWidth();
  setSize(new Dimension(cWidth, 1000));
  int prefH = getPreferredSize().height;
  while (rowColHeight.size() <= row) {
    rowColHeight.add(new ArrayList<Integer>(column));
  }
  List<Integer> colHeights = rowColHeight.get(row);
  while (colHeights.size() <= column) {
    colHeights.add(0);
  }
  colHeights.set(column, prefH);
  int maxH = prefH;
  for (Integer colHeight : colHeights) {
    if (colHeight > maxH) {
      maxH = colHeight;
    }
  }
  if (table.getRowHeight(row) != maxH) {
    table.setRowHeight(row, maxH);
  }
}

}

What has been tried:

  1. I have tried setBorder(null) and setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black)) and various other color like forground and background color of the table.

  2. Then I looked at this SO question and tried that solution as well but I am not able to resolve the border problem. I have also tried removing setBorder call altogether but the results are same.

  3. I have also tried removing the cell border in jtable mentioned in this SO question

How can I resolve this border problem with Nimbus look and feel.

Note: I am getting nice view with other look and feel.

Solution

    • This might work in JDK 1.7.0 or later:

      MultiLineTableCellRenderer r = new MultiLineTableCellRenderer();
UIDefaults d = new UIDefaults();
d.put("TextArea.borderPainter", new Painter() {
  @Override public void paint(Graphics2D g, Object o, int w, int h) {}
});
r.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides", d);
r.putClientProperty("Nimbus.Overrides.InheritDefaults", false);

table.setDefaultRenderer(String.class, r);
