        TableColumnModel columnModel = table.getColumnModel();
        columnModel.addColumnModelListener(tableColumnModelListener);

        columnModel.setColumnMargin(12);

        TableColumn column = new TableColumn(1);
        columnModel.addColumn(column);

        frame.getContentPane().add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.setSize(300, 150);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
