changing the column headers in a java JTable?

weird JTable behavior!

so when ever i want to change the column headers i use:

jTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setHeaderValue("new header string blahhh");

but when i run it, the header only changes to the new value when i mouse over the header...

i have NO mouse over events anywhere at all

any one know what's going on??

i dont know if it matters but i used the netbeans GUI editor to create it

thanks!

Update:

yahoo cut me off it should be

...getColumn(0).setHeaderValue("header String blahhh")
