Another remark: it is usually recommended to not use Vector any more,
because the synchronization overhead is unnecessary most of the time -
unless some API forces you to. The proper replacement is ArrayList.
If synchronization is needed then usually Collections.synchronizedList() will do.

I used DefaultTableModel and Vector because it was the simplest and easiest way to get the
project up and running. And the Oracles tutorial is, even today (2012), still using this
approach without any remarks.

So it's an old tutorial. That not only does not contravene Robert's advice,
he mentioned that you use 'Vector' when legacy code calls for it. So this
is one of those cases.

By the yway, Vector has been 'retrofitted'. From the docs:
"As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class was retrofitted to implement the List
interface, making it a member of the Java Collections Framework".

And that is relevant because ...?

Note: Your comment doesn't address Robert's point in the slightest.
