Try this:
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test1 extends JFrame implements TableCellRenderer{
    JTable table;
    Test1(){
        setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        String[] columnNames = {"Image with FileName",
                                        "Ordinary Column"};
        Object[][] data = {
            {new JLabel("file1",new ImageIcon("yahoo_link.gif"),JLabel.TRAILING),"Column2"},
            {new JLabel("file1",new ImageIcon("start.gif"),JLabel.TRAILING),"Column2"},
            {new JLabel("file1",new ImageIcon("stop.gif"),JLabel.TRAILING),"Column2"}           
        table=new JTable(data,columnNames);
        table.setRowHeight(60);
        for(int i=0;i<table.getColumnCount();i++){
           TableColumn tc=table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
           tc.setCellRenderer(this);
           tc.setCellEditor(new tbEditor());
        getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table));
        setSize(400,400);
        setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         new Test1();
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
                                                 boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
             if(column==0)
             return (JLabel)table.getValueAt(row,column);
             else
             return new JTextField((String)table.getValueAt(row,column));
class tbEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor{
  public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
            if (col == 0) {
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
        if(table.getSelectedColumn()==0 && table.getSelectedRow()>=0){
             JLabel s=(JLabel)table.getEditorComponent();
             return s.getText();
        }return "";
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
                                                 Object value,
                                                 boolean isSelected,
                                                 int row,
                                                 int column) {
             if(column==0)
             return (JLabel)table.getValueAt(row,column);
             else
             return new JTextField((String)table.getValueAt(row,column));
