In a JTree I have several leaf nodes w/ a custom renderer extended from
DefaultTreeCellRenderer. Some of the leaf nodes are JComboBoxes and
others are JTextFields. When user clicks on the leaf node to edit, for
ex. a JTextField ... he inputs the text while the field is in edit mode.
At this point, what if he doesn't press the enter key to stop it from
editing ... what if the user just enters the text, there's still a
blinking cursor, then takes the mouse to click on another leaf node ...
which means the tree model's listener treeNodesChanged() never gets
fired.
What am I supposed to do in that case? Should I manually fire this
change somehow? Anyone know how?

I suppose you need to do this using a FocusLost listener.
It really is a pain that these minor nits can't be handled by the
default renderer already. I suppose that is the price you pay for being
able to use general purpose editing components.
