How to create a table in an RTF document

Greetings. I am trying to construct an RTF document with Java / Swing
(StyledDocument, RTFEditorKit) and then save it.

Can anyone give me a quick primer on how to draw a simple table, with
a few rows and columns, border perhaps ... I have been scouring
Google, checking out the RTF spec ... but there is not much out there
...

Thanks in advance,
syg

There's plenty out there on RTF, but the sad reality is that Sun's
RTFEditorKit doesn't support the newest RTF specs -- the ones that
include tables and some other more recent additions. So unless you'd
care to write your own RTFEditorKit with all the latest and greatest
stuff included -- or can find one somewhere -- you'll have troubles.
