Two things about javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalBorders.TableHeaderBorder (which is
used as "TableHeader.cellBorder" in the UIDefaults table).


a) There is a mismatch between the Insets that are returned from
getBorderInsets() and the actual paint code, which (underlined line) uses one
pixel at the right, and not zero.

Source code reproduced here (emphasis mine):


    public static class TableHeaderBorder extends
javax.swing.border.AbstractBorder {
        protected Insets editorBorderInsets = new Insets( 2, 2, 2, 0 );

                                                                  ^^^
                                                                  ^^^


        public void paintBorder(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y, int w,
int h) {
g.translate( x, y );

g.setColor( MetalLookAndFeel.getControlDarkShadow() );
g.drawLine( w-1, 0, w-1, h-1 );

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

g.drawLine( 1, h-1, w-1, h-1 );
g.setColor( MetalLookAndFeel.getControlHighlight() );
g.drawLine( 0, 0, w-2, 0 );
g.drawLine( 0, 0, 0, h-2 );

g.translate( -x, -y );
}

        public Insets getBorderInsets( Component c ) {
return editorBorderInsets;
}
    }

The value for Insets.right should at least be 1, probably 2 like in the other
directions.


b) Like all other LAF-provided borders, it should implement UIResource so that
it doesn't stick to a component even when the LookAndFeel is changed.
LookAndFeel.installBorder() will not exchange the border when it is not a
UIResource.
When using a custom table header (the component most likely to use this border),
and switching from Metal to another LookAndFeel, the border above
(MetalBorders.TableHeaderBorder) remains and is not replaced by the actual
"TableHeader.cellBorder" provided by the new LAF, leading to visual
inconsistencies.
