If you move the JTable's cursor to the cell using the arrow or tab 
keys, it does not actually begin editing the cell, so the table cell 
editor component has not yet been created or realized.  So the 
listeners that you add to the component will not have any effect.

If you then press a typing key, the cell editor will then be created, 
but the timing is a little different then in the case you cited, due to 
the way that the mouse click and keyboard events are re-targeted and 
how the focus is transferred to the TTableCellEditor.

You can deal with this by having your component defer the selectAll() 
call using SwingUtilities.invokeLater().  For example:

    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            selectAll();
        }
    } );
