Moving a JTable inside a forum

Question

Im trying to have JTable displayed on my forum, but i want a top row to be a "menu" with a row of buttons. I tried multiple things to get this to work, but i cant get the JTable to shift downwards. The parts i have commented out are things ive been playing around with.

Table1 = new JTable(data, columnNames);
        Table1.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(1000, 600));
        Table1.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(Table1);   
        add(scrollPane);
        scrollPane.setLocation(0,300);
    Container TopMenu = getContentPane();
    SpringLayout TopMenuLayout = new SpringLayout();
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, project1, 325, SpringLayout.WEST, TopMenu);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, project1, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, TopMenu);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, project2, 100, SpringLayout.WEST, project1);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, project2, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, TopMenu);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, project3, 100, SpringLayout.WEST, project2);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, project3, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, TopMenu);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, project4, 100, SpringLayout.WEST, project3);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, project4, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, TopMenu);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, project5, 100, SpringLayout.WEST, project4);
        TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, project5, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, TopMenu);
        //TopMenuLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, Table1, 150, SpringLayout.NORTH, this);
    TopMenu.setLayout(TopMenuLayout);
        //TopMenu.add(scrollPane);
        TopMenu.add(project1);
        //TopMenu.add(Table1);
        TopMenu.add(project2);
        TopMenu.add(project3);
        TopMenu.add(project4);
        TopMenu.add(project5);
