My thoughts about this. The object which implements the interface is always the "editor", even if it is not a component. I guess you are mixing it with the other classes like "JEditorPane/JTextField/etc". The current spec: >This interface defines the method any object that would like to be an editor of values for components such as <code>JListBox</code>, <code>JComboBox</code>, <code>JTree</code>, or <code>JTable</code> needs to implement. This means that the application may have some values/data stored in the JComboBox/JTree/JTable and the application may create a cell editor by implementing the TableCellEditor. That editor then could be used as a cell editor in the "main" JTable. So the next statement in the description of this PR is not completely right: > "CellTableEditor Interface doesn't support JComboBox and JTree components" The JComboBox and other classes do not have to implement/support that interface. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6608
