I followed the JTable tutorial on Sun but my column name is not displaying, only the column data is displaying. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try

mainInternalFrame.add(new JScrollPane(mainTable));

[bcranger]

I tried that but then the table itself disappears which is very odd.

Have a look at DefaultTableModel or the following

Quote

JTable(Vector rowData, Vector columnNames)
Constructs a JTable to display the values in the Vector of Vectors, rowData, with column names, columnNames.

or you could perhaps try something like

JTable myTabel = new JTable(3,10); // 3 columns by 6 rows

myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setHeaderValue("New Column Name"); // change column 1's name //

I suggest you only use a null layout when you really know what you're doing

That's a very good point.
Null layout if you draw yourself all your graphics if you use JComponent avoid null layout. You will have to setBounds() on all of them and for a JScrollPane will need a lot of calculations.

As far as your initial question is concerned: JTable header will not be automatically displayed if the JTable is not in a JScrollPane.
There are accessor to get them if you want to draw them "by hand".
