FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
After a JTable has been added to a JScrollPane calling JScrollPane.setColumnHeaderView no longer does anything.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create JScrollPane

set ViewportView to JTable (by doing this the JTable adds its TableHeader to the ColumnHeaderView of the JScrollPane)

call JScrollPane.setColumnHeaderView passing in a new component

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The column header view of the JScrollPane should be set to the new component.
ACTUAL -
The column header view is still the TableHeader that was set when adding the JTable.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
^Cimport javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class TestHeaderCrap {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();

        final Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        JScrollPane mainScrollPane = new JScrollPane(new JTable(10, 10));

        mainScrollPane.setColumnHeaderView(new JLabel("test"));

        contentPane.add(mainScrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setVisible(true);

    }
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
You can overide JTable to not add the TableHeader to the ScrollPane but this is not a valid solution when writing a custom component which takes in a JTable since you can't override it.
