hi all,
I wrote a customized renderer for a JTable but it is behaving
differently from what I expected: even if I just acted on the
BACKground color, when this render is selected the table does not show
the content of the cells. Double-clicking on a cell shows the data
correctly sorted in it but, as soon as the cell is de-selected, data
re-become invisible.
Here is the code: can anybody please tell me what am I doing wrong?

The cell renderer is responsible for painting *everything* in the cell, including the contents. Your renderer does
nothing but set background and foreground colors, so no content is painted. Since your renderer extends
DefaultTableCellRenderer the solution is simple. Just call the superclass getTableCellRendererComponent method before
performing your work:
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,value,isSelected,hasFocus,row,column);
//do your stuff here
return this;
