Summary: Reusability

Initial Comment:
JXTable is a library and should be made more 
reusable/customizable.

One thing is that a lot of classes/methods are final and 
no one can override/extend their behavior.

Another one is that a lot of attributes are private and 
some don't even have getters.

I just had the need to change the properties (look and 
feel) of the table, but there's no getScrollPane() method.

For convenience I suggest the JXTable to be an adapter to the 
underlying JScrollPane. Meaning: expose the interface of the 
JScrollPane thru the JXTable.

Example:
public void setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(int i) {
    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(i);
}

Some of the methods in JScrollPane conflict with methods in 
JTable. Here we could create extended method names like 
this:
public void setScrollPaneUI(final ScrollPaneUI scrollpaneui) {
    scrollPane.setUI(scrollpaneui);
}

Your suggestion with getScrollPane() is a different way to do 
mostly the same and can coexist with the adapter methods.

Please vote.
