JTable Column Header Names

Hi,

I'm trying to dynamically change the column names on a JTable object.

I've tried getting the TableColumn object for a given column and used
the setIdentifier() method to change it, but nuttin' happens.

Any words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance.

did you read javadoc?
it says that "identifiers are not used by the JTable, they are purely a
convenience for the external tagging and location of columns."

setHeaderValue(Object o) is right one.

Thank you kindly.

For anyone else reading the thread, after you change the column header
values, you have to call the JFrame's repaint() method.
