Catch a JList event, which JList is in a JTable

Question

I have got a JTable and in its cells are JLists or JLabels (it depend on data)
Here is code spinnet:
DefaultTableCellRenderer ownRenderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer() {
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
NERecordSet nyers = (NERecordSet)tData.getModel();
if (nyers.getValueAt(row, column).getClass().getName().equals("com.nextent.corridor.db.NERecordSet")) {
JList listCell = new JList();
listCell.setModel((NERecordSet)nyers.getValueAt(row, column));
listCell.setCellRenderer(ownListCellRenderer);
listCell.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
if (isSelected) {
listCell.setBackground(Color.blue);
else {
listCell.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
return listCell;
else {
JLabel lCell = new JLabel();
lCell.setToolTipText(tooltip);
return lCell;
I'd like to catch the event 'click to one of elements of JList' -> How can I do it? (I tried to add an event handler in the renderer (JList.addMouseListener()), but it was wrong)
other questions: I'd like to add tooltip to the elements of JList, but I can't
Please help me to solve these problems!
Thanks!

Try this:
listCell.addListSelectionListener(
    new javax.swing.event.ListSelectionListener() {
        public void valueChanged(javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent evt) {
            System.out.println("value changed in JList: " + evt);
);Good luck!
