JTable too Wide

Let's say you were designed a JTable and it came out too wide. You
would prefer not to scroll. What are your options?

1. some way of doing data entry in a narrow multiline cell?

2. alternating what is in odd-even rows?

3. variable width columns, something to widen temporarily a given cell
with just a keystroke?

4. something else?
