inspector jtable events mouseclicked..add handler "my_handler_name" -
in the code youll find something like :

private void usertbl_mouse(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
int row = usertbl.getSelectedRow();
int col = usertbl.getSelectedColumn();
System.out.println( "row:"+ row + ":" + col );

col / row count starts at 0 !!!!

the target ist to start a seperate init-function just after the GUI was initialised-

playing the first time with Exe4j to pack Netbeans Java apps to exe files needed alot of boose!

Puzzle is to find out all the jars needed to satisfy the "compiler" so here we go with the help of the fantasic site : http://www.findjar.com
Analysing the error.log file very looooong so only

The END :
using Netbeans / Liubraries ind the Guibuilder i made the appropriate includs of these JDG1.6 jar files to the Exe4J packer and got abt 56MB junk of exefile whick runs on the develop-machine.

Transfer to a very old WIN98 : seems problem win Java JRE..checking...problm with EXE4j_JAVA_HOME not found - leaving for later seems alot of ppl having the same problem -
