I guess the doAccessibleAction(i); should work in a similar way as something 
like "table,getCellJComponent()".click(). Is it actually possible to click on 
the cell w/o using robot and w/o a11y API just via Swing API and w/o adding 
code for each type of the renderer?

Where this code is triggered if the user click on the checkbox by the mouse?

Why the metal L&F is tested, should at least any default L&F works(like Aqua)?
