EVALUATION Yes, this should be done. This will result in changing the javadoc for addColumn to: /** * Adds a column to the model. The new column will have the * identifier <code>columnName</code>, which may be null. This method * will send a * <code>tableChanged</code> notification message to all the listeners. * This method is a cover for <code>addColumn(Object, Vector)</code> which * uses <code>null</code> as the data vector. * * @param columnName the identifier of the column being added */ public void addColumn(Object columnName); /** * Adds a column to the model. The new column will have the * identifier <code>columnName</code>, which may be null. * <code>columnData</code> is the * optional vector of data for the column. If it is <code>null</code> * the column is filled with <code>null</code> values. Otherwise, * the new data will be added to model starting with the first * element going to row 0, etc. This method will send a * <code>tableChanged</code> notification message to all the listeners. * * @param columnName the identifier of the column being added * @param columnData optional data of the column being added */ public void addColumn(Object columnName, Vector columnData); scott.violet@eng 2001-06-25 Phil actually did this before he left, I just filed the CCC request. scott.violet@eng 2001-07-12
