class table1
{
JFrame JF;
Container C;
JPanel JP;
JLabel creditLabel;
JComboBox credit;
String[] Credit = {"Vasan Phalke", "Pansare", "Anil Kg", "Suresh"};
String[] Names = {"Name", "Qty", "Rate/ Kg", "Rate/Dzn.", "Total Amt."};
JTable table;
DefaultTableModel model;
JScrollPane scrollPane;

public table1()
{
JF = new JFrame();
JP = new JPanel();
C= JF.getContentPane();
JF.pack();
JF.setLocationRelativeTo(null); 
JF.setVisible(true);    

DesignGridLayout layout = new DesignGridLayout(C);

creditLabel = new JLabel("Credit");
credit = new JComboBox<String>(Credit);
model = new DefaultTableModel(Names,5);
    table =new JTable(model){@Override
public boolean isCellEditable(int arg0, int arg1)
{
    return true;
}
               };


  scrollPane= new JScrollPane(table);

layout.row().grid(creditLabel).add(credit);
layout.emptyRow();
layout.row().grid().add(table);

C.add(JP);
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
new table1();
}
}

By clicking on the value of combobox, it should appear in the name column of the table, and what changes should be made to the table for automatic calculation, ie, when i enter qty and rate, total amount should automatically be calculated. How all these things can be done, please help. Thanks in advance.

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Tables

The tutorial shows you how to use a combo box as an editor for a column in a table. This is what you should be doing instead of having a separate combo box.

To calculate the amount, you need to create a custom TableModel and override the setValueAt() method. Whenever the quantity or rate changes you recalculate the amount.
