Coloring text in table cells depending on what text appears

Question

I have a table where some entries say 'success' and others say 'failure.' I want the 'success' to appear in green and the 'failure' to appear in red.
This code doesn't work:
        model = new JTTableModel();
        JTable resultsTable = new JTable(model);
        resultsTable.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class,
                new ColorRenderer());
    public class ColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
        public java.awt.Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
                boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus,
                int row, int column) {
            System.out.println("value " +value+ " class of value "+value.getClass().getName());
            if (value.equals("success")){
                setForeground(new Color(0,255,0));
            }else if (value.equals("failed")){
                setForeground(new Color(255,0,0));
            return this;
    }What am I doing wrong?

But lmgtfy is rude, No it isn't. Most posters are too lazy to search for themselves. There are hundreds of examples of renderers to be found in the forums here. Many times is it faster for us to point to links that have the answser rather then spend time explaining everything you have done wrong. You are not the only person we help.Then why not post the link to the Google search directly? No, lmgtfy is not about simply posting a link, it's about posting a link in a way that says, 'You're too stupid to use Google, so I'll do it for you.' Which is rude. No Duke points, sorry.
As for searching this forum, the quality of search results here is definitely poor. How many screens of results should I search to find an example of what I need? Maybe I'm spoiled by Google, or maybe they should open this forum to Google search, and make the wisdom here accumulated more available.
but if you note the time this was posted,We have no idea where you live or what time of day it is for you.Yes you do, if I set the time zone on my profile.
This is my last post on this thread. I'm not going to bicker with you.
