API doc for this method in Java 8: "Returns the Vector of Vectors that
contains the table's data values." There's quite a few occurrences of
casts such as "(Vector)dataVector.elementAt(row)" in the
DefaultTableModel code, too.

So it seems that using another element type than Vector with
DefaultTableModel has never really been a safe option, and the change
only codifies to types what the contract has always been saying. Custom
[Abstract]TableModel to the rescue...
