I'm also a Java newbie, and have spent the past couple days looking at
JTable's specifically.  (See message posted just before yours.)

Two things I have discovered:
1) JBuilder Foundation doesn't really support TableModel in the GUI builder,
but handles the code well once you put it in yourself.
2) A JTable generates a DefaultTableModel by default which you can control
with getModel() (and setModel()).  If you've populated the table, then the
DefaultTableModel methods like getColumnCount() will return meaningful
info.

If you figure the JTable/TableModel relationship out, please see my post and
let me know if you know how solve my prob.

Thanks.
