This is a proof of concept only
Disclaimer: Before I get a bunch of hate mail about the, obviously, horrible things I've done to make this work, I stole most of the painting code straight out of the source, this is how it's actually done within the look and feel code itself :P
I've also gone to the nth degree, meaning that I've literally assumed that you wanted the row headers to look like the column headers. If this isn't a requirement, it would be SO much easier to do...
Okay, this is a basic proof of concept, which provides the means to generate the row header and render them the same way as they are normally, just as row headers instead.
Things that need to be added/supported:
- Detect when the table model is changed (that is, a new table model is set to the table)
- Detect when the column model is changed (that is, a new column model is set to the table)
Much of this functionality would probably need to be added to the TableWithRowHeader implementation...
Basically, what this "tries" to do, is create a custom row header, based on a JTableHeader, remove the existing column header and add itself into the row header view position of the enclosing JScrollPane.

Disclaimer: This is likely to blow up in your face. I make no checks for preventing the header from responding to things like changes to the column row sortering and ... in theory ... it shouldn't try and "resize" the column but I didn't test that...
