We have a very nice utility called org.netbeans.api.db.sql.support.SQLIdentifiers.Quoter that knows when a particular identifier needs to be quoted, providing the method quoteIfNeeded(). We are using this when we generate select statements internally (such as with "View Data" action), but we should use this to automatically quote identifiers in our UI dialogs. So for example, when the user wants to create a table, the table name and column names should be quoted automatically if they contain characters (such as spaces or multibytes) that need to be quoted.
