1.Run TableDemo.java
2. You will see a Jtable (with data), a TextField and a Clear button (from 
left-right order)
3. Select the first row in the Table ("the White Stripes")
4. Now click on the textField next to the jtable, type "a" and then press 
ENTER key. This will filter the table to show only the rows that contain the 
character "a".
5. Now click on "Clear" button next to textfield. It will set the rowCount to 
zero on DefaultTableModel. (basically to remove all items from the table).

Once clear button is clicked you will see the following exception:
