Re: jtables in netbeans help

Some of your issues are Java quirks. Did you place the table within a 
scrollpane? That's how you'll get the table headers to show.

For your other questions, you may want to refer to this tutorial which 
also addresses how to set the initial sizes of columns:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#width 
I'm not sure if NetBeans property sheet lets you access each column so 
you can setPreferredWidth().
