Have you thought about using a JTable?  The first
column isn't editable, so you'd use a JLabel as
the renderer, setting its fore/back colors appropriately.
For getting the appropriate editor in the second column,
you would probably override JTable.getCellEditor(row, col)
to return the appropriate editor component.

Also, the following Web site may provide some
insight:

See the JTable demos (the source code is available).
Not all the links work correctly, but you can manually
change them to get to where you want to go.
