Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hello

I am trying to set the column widths using JXTable and a ColumnFactory.
I set the preferred width of the middle column in my example to 10 but when executed that column is slightly smaller that the others but not 10. If I set the resize mode to AUTO_RESIZE_OFF (uncomment line in example) the correct width of 10 is produced.

I would like the middle column to be 10 and then other columns that have not had a width specified by the overridden logic to then allocate the extra space between them.

If I uncomment the line for max width then the column understandably is reduced to a size of 10 I would still like the column to be made bigger and just have an initial size of 10.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers to help solve my problem
