I have the following line:
  ((JLabel) table.getCellRenderer(iLine,
COL_STATIONGROUP)).setBackground(Color.lightGray);

but this set *all* cells in column COL_STATIONGROUP to lightGray...

Can anyone help me out on this one?

May you always keep a foot under your keel.

Thank you...

I see how i can manipulate each cell's attributes in that code,
but how do I attach the renderer to my table?

                    column % 2 == 1

Wrapping Java code can make it illegal.

In subclasses of DefaultTableCellRenderer, either *always* call
setForeground/Background or *never*, but not conditionally.

I wrote the code in my mail client, so I expected it to contain errors 
.... lol

it was just an example for him, not something to be copy/pasted literally :)
