There are two things you need to to:
a) use an Icon as your data for a column
b) tell the table what type of data you are using for each column:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
public class TableIcon extends JFrame
     public TableIcon()
          ImageIcon aboutIcon = new ImageIcon("about16.gif");
          ImageIcon addIcon = new ImageIcon("add16.gif");
          ImageIcon copyIcon = new ImageIcon("copy16.gif");
          String[] columnNames = {"Picture", "Description"};
          Object[][] data =
               {aboutIcon, "About"},
               {addIcon, "Add"},
               {copyIcon, "Copy"},
          DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
          JTable table = new JTable( model )
               //  Returning the Class of each column will allow different
               //  renderers to be used based on Class
               public Class getColumnClass(int column)
                    return getValueAt(0, column).getClass();
          table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
          //  Set the first column to use a combobox as its editor
          Object[] items = { aboutIcon, addIcon, copyIcon };
          JComboBox editor = new JComboBox( items );
          DefaultCellEditor dce = new DefaultCellEditor( editor );
          table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellEditor(dce);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          TableIcon frame = new TableIcon();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
}
