How do I add horizontal scrolling support in the OutlineView component?

The OutlineView component already contains a JScrollPane, but the component’s default behavior is to fit all the columns in the available space. If you have a large number of columns, say twenty or more, you may find that the horizontal space allocated to any one column is insufficient.

outlineView.getOutline().setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
