You could try

TextComponent ed = null;
int start = 0;
int end = 0;
try {
  ed = (TextComponent) jComboBox1.getEditor().getEditorComponent();
  start = ed.getSelectionStart();
  end = ed.getSelectionEnd();
}
catch (ClassCastException cce) {
  System.out.println("Oy! Editor isn't a TextComponent! That sucks!");
}
