Java nested list to array conversion

What is the most effective way to convert data from a nested list to an array of objects that can be used as JTable data?

List<List> table = new ArrayList<List>();

for (DATaroW rowData : entries) {
    List<String> row = new ArrayList<String>();

    for (String col : rowData.getDataColumn())
        row.add(col);

    table.add(row);
}

// I'm doing the conversion manually Now,but
// I hope that there are better ways to achieve the same
Object[][] finalData = new String[table.size()][max];
for (int i = 0; i < table.size(); i++) {
    List<String> row = table.get(i);

    for (int j = 0; j < row.size(); j++)
        finalData[i][j] = row.get(j);
}

Thank you.

Solution

//defined somewhere

//defined somewhere
List<List<String>> lists = ....

String[][] array = new String[lists.size()][];
String[] blankArray = new String[0];
for(int i=0; i < lists.size(); i++) {
    array[i] = lists.get(i).toArray(blankArray);
}

I know nothing about JTable, but converting a list into an array can be done in a few lines
