Why JTable doesn't show array cell value as JComboBox

JOptionPane or JList can handle array values correctly, however when I
use a table I get something like L[java.langString... when I expect a
combobox. I tried to modify model of table to specify String[].class
as type of cell, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

you need proper TableCellRenderer.

As a matter of fact, the API documentation includes a reference link to
the tutorial material that addresses this subject pretty well. It's
where I turned recently when working on a new feature that needed to
have a well behaved JTable. It's at <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html>.
