Java JTable - Combobox + Checkbox - Cellrenderer + Editor

Question

i got a Problem.

I have a JTable, containing descriptors in the first column, and then different types of JComponents in the second column (JTextField as standard, JCheckBox for Boolean and JCombobox for Integers) I created my own Cellrenderer, to do so, but when i try to change the value of (to edit) f.e. the JCheckBox, the CheckBox dissapears, and there is a normal TextField.

So I tried to write my own CellEditor, but it doesnt really work. Might you guys help me please?

Thanks Developer_X
