Could anyone perhaps provide me with a link to a tutorial / package that allows the drawing of an HTML like table grid layout? I've googled, but I just keep finding JTable, which won't work for me, and Google keeps wanting to change "java awt table" to "java swt table".

That isn't easy.
I think GridBagLayout is the closes layout manager, but it is advanced. Remember that you can nest layouts. You can use a layout, then put panels in it and have another layout on the panel.

@Josh: Most of the layout managers are part of AWT and not Swing, see http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/GridBagLayout.html – Jonas Feb 19 '11 at 01:50
