swing - JTable row limitation

Question

I have to limit the number of rows in a JTable. If I have 100 records I need to display 10 on the initial loading of JTable. I wish to put a button like "next", and after each click it shows another set of 10 records.

Use preferred size (+ an appropriate layout and layout constraint) to fix the size.

I wish to put a button like "next", and after each click it showing another set of 10 records.

Remove the scroll bar on the RHS of the scroll pane. Then use buttons instead for the effect of 'next/previous'.

Like this

FixedRowsTable.java

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;

class FixedRowsTable {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                String[] columns = {"1","2","3","4","5","6","7"};
                Integer[][] data = new Integer[1000][columns.length];
                for (int xx=0; xx<data.length; xx++) {
                    for (int yy=0; yy<data[0].length; yy++) {
                        data[xx][yy] = new Integer((xx+1)*(yy+1));
                    }
                }
                final int rows = 11;

                JPanel gui = new JPanel(new BorderLayout(3,3));

                final JTable table = new JTable(
                    new DefaultTableModel(data, columns));

                final JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(
                    table,
                    JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER,
                    JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
                Dimension d = table.getPreferredSize();
                scrollPane.setPreferredSize(
                    new Dimension(d.width,table.getRowHeight()*rows));

                JPanel navigation = new JPanel(
                    new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
                JButton next = new JButton(">");
                next.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
                        int height = table.getRowHeight()*(rows-1);
                        JScrollBar bar = scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar();
                        bar.setValue( bar.getValue()+height );
                    }
                } );
                JButton previous = new JButton("<");
                previous.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
                        int height = table.getRowHeight()*(rows-1);
                        JScrollBar bar = scrollPane.getVerticalScrollBar();
                        bar.setValue( bar.getValue()-height );
                    }
                } );

                navigation.add(previous);
                navigation.add(next);

                gui.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                gui.add(navigation, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, gui);
            }
        });
    }
}
