5x5 to 50x50 Board game implementation using Java Swing

Question

What is the best way to implement a configurable dimensional matrix to represent a 2d board game with cells using Java and Swing?

Grid Layout? Tables?

What are the requirements? Do the cells need to grow? What user interactions do you require? — MadProgrammer, Nov 30 '12 at 23:52

The model of the board should be separate from its view so you can change your mind later if you find that one or the other doesn't work well.

Well, yes, but .. is this really more than a comment as it is? – Nov 30 '12 at 23:55

It is a short answer, perhaps even a comment, but it does point the person into looking at models and views, when before they were only concerned with JComponents. To actually choose which JComponent serves their needs or to introduce MVC _yet again_ really doesn't serve SO's ideas of good answers either. – Edwin Buck Nov 30 '12 at 23:57
