I was able to use the values() method to get the element of the enum
but now I have another problem, the ComBox does not drop down when I
click on it to select an element other than the default selected one
and I implement the getTableVellRendererComponent but the value I'm
getting are always null for some reason here is the renderer's code:

public class EnumRenderer<V extends Enum<V>> extends JComboBox
implements TableCellRenderer {

    Class<V> valueType;

    public EnumRenderer() {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public EnumRenderer(ComboBoxModel arg0) {
        super(arg0);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public EnumRenderer(Object[] arg0) {
        super(arg0);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public EnumRenderer(Vector<?> arg0) {
        super(arg0);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    public EnumRenderer( Class valueType ){
        super(valueType.getEnumConstants());
        this.setEnabled(true);
    }

    @Override
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object
value,
            boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        System.out.println(value);

        /*
        if(arg1 != null ){

            System.out.println(arg1);

            Class<V> valueType = ((Enum)arg1).getDeclaringClass();

            for(V v : valueType.getEnumConstants()){
                 addItem(v);
             }
         }
        */
        return this;
    }

}
