RemoveColumn from TableModel not just JTable

Question

I do something like this to remove a column from my JTable:
JTable.removeColumn(getColumn(columnName));This works great for removing the column from the table...but it doesn't remove the column from the TableModel so if you do a repaint the column come back. There is no
JTableModel.removeColumn()How can I remove my column from the model?
PS...How dumb...why would you still want the column in the TableModel after you remove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I would guess 90% of time people what to removeColumn from both Table and Model so why not accommodate the 90% AND 10%. NOT just the 10%.Then why build the TableModel with the data to begin with? Its much faster to simply remove a column from display on the table then it is to recreate the entire TableModel, especially if you need to do a remote database query. So build the TableModel with all the information and let the users customize the view themselves.
I think you've got your percentages reversed.
