I would like to display 2 columns of many rows.
the left column will be fixed in the horizontal and should display all its
contents, each cell will be a single JLabel
the right column will be scrollable (ie all right-hand cells together) each
cell will be a single JComponent with graphics

ie:

--------------------
| | |
--------------------
| | |
--------------------
| | |
--------------------
| | |
--------------------
| | |
--------------------
       <-scrollbar->

One solution is to have 2 components 1 for each column and gridlayout them.
the right-hand one can be nested in a jscrollpane.

But the neccessary scrollbar would interfere with the bottom cell, so it'd
be best to put it below.

I see that I can get the scrollbar from the scrollpane. So that shouldn't
be a problem.

But is there a better way?
I haven't used JTables, can these do this? Had a quick look but don't see
any mention of scrollbar policy.

Thanks.
