Answer 1

I see that you add the row to a new table that you've just created inside the actionPerformed method. Usually, we use actions to change/alter already existing GUI components. This might be a reason why you don't see any change on the GUI.

I guess, the table that is displayed in the scroll pane is created with

MyJtable tv = new MyJtable(a);
table = new JTable(tv);

Try adding the row to table (via tv which has to be made an instance variable first) instead of the newly created table.
