      javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor
          com.gremwell.history.HistoryCellEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.swing.CellEditor, javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor, javax.swing.tree.TreeCellEditor

public class HistoryCellEditor
extends javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor
implements javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor

A TableCellEditor with history and autocompletion. Example:
JTable myTable = new JTable();
... TableColumn col = myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
col.setCellEditor(new HistoryCellEditor("StreetAddress"));
col = fieldsTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1);
col.setCellEditor(new HistoryCellEditor("PostalCode"));
myTable.setSurrendersFocusOnKeystroke(true); // This is important
// When this property is not set, when you start typing in a cell
// the autocompleted part of the text is selected, but the selection
// is not highlighted, which looks weird

This code sets cell editors with autocomplete for two tavble columns. Each column uses different input history.
