The second version of the fix for this bug is created and added to this Pull 
Request. Please review the new version of the fix.

In the second version of the fix the next changes were introduced:

In the file "src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/JTable.java":
1.1. "protected" access modifier in declaration of the new class 
"AccessibleBooleanRenderer" was removed to make this class package-private.
1.2. "public" access modifier in declaration of the new method "void 
AccessibleBooleanRenderer.setCellToDoActionOn(JTable table, int row, int 
column)" was removed to make this method package-private.

In the file 
"test/jdk/javax/accessibility/JTable/JCheckBoxInJTableCannotBeClickedTest.java":
2.1. Declaration of the method "public static void main(String[] args)" was 
changed to specify that it can throw "InterruptedException", 
"InvocationTargetException", "AWTException", and all unnecessary "catch" blocks 
were removed from this method.
2.2. Setting "MetalLookAndFeel" was removed from the method "private void 
createGUI()".
