JTable Header only shows when there are elements in table

I am using a JTable inside a JScrollPane and want the Headers to
appear all the time. Currently, They only appear if there are
elements inside the stringtablemodel. Also, I would like to manually
set the widths of each column. I see how to disable the automatic
setting of the width, but not how to specify the width.

How can this be done? Is there any sample code showing this?

Frank.

I don't think that its true (atleast in JDK1.1.5).
I had created JTable and TableModel in JDK1.1.5. There I didn't have this problem. I'm not sure about JDK1.2 as I haven't tried it there.

Here is my table model...


TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel()
{
public int getColumnCount()
{
return names.length;
}

public int getRowCount()
{
return vCurrExp.size();
}

public Object getValueAt(int row, int col)
{
Vector expVect = new Vector();
((Experience)vCurrExp.elementAt( row )).getAll( expVect );
return (expVect.elementAt( col ));
}

public String getColumnName(int column)
{
return names[column];
}

public Class getColumnClass(int c)
{
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
}

public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
{
return false;
}

public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int row, int column)
{
return; // Function not perfected becase we won't edit any values from Table.
// If u r going to edit values, u will have to handle this function.
}
};
