Sorry - I should have said the processFocusEvent() method.  You would 
need to check to see whether the event type was FOCUS_LOST.  You might 
also be able to accomplish the same thing by adding a FocusListener and 
using the focusLost() method of the listener.

I spent a lot of time mucking with this code, and eventually came up 
with something that works pretty well.  But that was a while ago and it 
was far from a straight path to get there, so I am a little fuzzy on 
it.

If your TableCellEditor is a compound component, then I imagine it will 
get more complicated, since each of the components in your editor will 
be losing focus as the focus shifts within the editor.

I am not sure how to deal with that situation, but one thing I would 
look into would be the isManagingFocus() method.  It also might be a 
good idea to take a look at a JComboBox, since it is a compound 
component, and may face similar issues.
