Connecting/linking JTable UIs

Question

I have four JTables arranged in a 2x2 square. I want the columns and rows to be connected: when a column on one table is rearranged or resized (by the user or otherwise), I want the same things to happen to the table above or below (in real time); when rows or columns are sorted or highlighted, I want the highlighting to happen in the adjacent table, forming a continuous line of selection. Screenshot

To the right, the numbered columns are the start of new tables (four tables in all)

To synchronize scrolling, the vertical scroll bars of separate scroll panes can share a common BoundedRangeModel. To synchronize selection, separate tables can share a common ListSelectionModel. The table models must be commensurate. There's an example showing two tables in this Q&A.

@mKorbel: Ah, I see that `TableColumnModel` also has a `ListSelectionModel`. – trashgod Jan 01 '12 at 23:30
