I have a JTable where I want the user to be able to select a row, but not a
single cell. If the user clicks on a cell, the entire row should be
highlighted (=different background color), but the CellEditor shouldn't come
up.

JTable table = new JTable();

// this wil disable cell selection, but also the row
// highlighting disappears
table.setCellSelectionEnabled(false);

Thanks
Simon

You a) change the renderer not to paint editable cells in a special
background color and b) configure the editor not to start editing
on single mouse clicks.
