How to left or right justify a column header in a JTable

Hi All,

I searched and couldn't find an answer for this. By default column headers in a JTable are centered. How do I make certain column headers left or right justified instead?

TIA

From stackoverflow

• TableCellRenderer renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
  renderer.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
  table.getColumn(id).setHeaderRenderer(renderer);
  

  Or, if you don't have the column names available:

  table.getColumnModel().getColumn(index).setHeaderRenderer(renderer);
  

  Dan Howard : I get an error because I don't seem to have an ID. I use table.getColumn(0).setHeaderRenderer(renderer); for column 1 and table.getColumn(1).setHeaderRenderer(renderer); for column 2

  Dan Howard : this works: table.getColumn(table.getColumnName(1)).setHeaderRenderer(renderer); thanks
