Answer 1

Well on the Table Click event you can get the table Cell which clicked..

public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event) {
    int row = theTable.rowAtPoint(event.getPoint());
    int col = theTable.columnAtPoint(event.getPoint());

    table.changeSelection(row, col, false, false);
    table.requestFocus();
}

try it or jtable cell having by default that behaviour if u use netbeans.

Here's another way, compatible with different kinds of listeners:

//Listener for Table 2
if(table1.isEditing()){ //To prevent Null Pointer Exception
    table1.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}

...

//Listener for Table 1
if(table2.isEditing()){ //To prevent Null Pointer Exception
    table2.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing();
}
