JTable cell spanning more than one column

I want to have a JTable with N (!=1) columns in which some rows have only one cell that spans the whole N columns.

I've found开发者_Python百科 an example on jguru (http://www.crionics.com/products/opensource/faq/swing_ex/JTableExamples4.html), however I'm yet to understand how it works.

I have also found some other discussions about this pointing to this article (http://www.swingwiki.org/howto:column_spanning), however the link has not been working for some time.

Does anyone have a solution or at least pointers to one?
