• List elements should be instances of a class, containing table data
• Each element of the class should have a getter

// chapter10/table/TableViewDemo.javaclass Chapter {    private final String title;    private final int number;    public Chapter(int number, String title) {        this.title = title;        this.number = number;    }    public String getTitle() {        return title;    }    public int getNumber() {        return number;    }}

Using this object, we can create a list to be used later as data for a table:
