Change the background color of a cell in JTable

Question

Hi all,
How can I change the background color of individual cell in JTable. I need to construct my own TableCellRenderer or not? I'm now using the DefaultTableCellRenderer now.
Thx

You could create your own renderer or you could try something like:
table = new JTable(model)
     public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
          DefaultTableCellRenderer tcr =
           (DefaultTableCellRenderer)super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
          if (row == 1 && column == 1)
               tcr.setBackground(Color.green);
          else
               tcr.setBackground(Color.red);
          return tcr;
};
