Although they are rendered in a very similar fashion, I think that the 
focused cell in a JTable is something very different from the focused 
component.  The JTable manages which cell "has focus" and the focus 
manager keeps track of which component has focus.

That would not handle the case when you are editing a cell and then 
click on some component other than the JTable.  In that case, the 
focused cell would not change, although I think you want to stop cell 
editing at this point.

As I recall, the only way I was able to handle was by detecting the 
shift of focus away from the TableCellEditor component.  But I am going 
to have to dig out that code to be sure that is how I handled it.  
Unfortunately, I do not have access to that code right now.
