I want to display some data in grid.. so I chose JTable. I want to use some row
as header, so it takes up whole column space, and for other rows may can take up
2 or 3 column space.

I've searched similar discussion in google group, but their solution is neither
simple nor compilable on my system, probably pre JDK1.2 code.

I'd like to know if anyone know how to create a spanning cell in JTable on
JDK1.4.

Or is there any alternative to JTable for grid data representation? I'd like to
display grid of course.

Thank you

I do not think you can span cells using a JTable. Have you considered using
tables within tables ?

I guess that's one possible solution. Have you done it before?
I'd appreciate if you can show me some sample code.
