JTable cell editor problem

Question

Hi, I have a custom cell editor component being used on my JTable (a calendar component) and am having problems bringing the component out of edit mode when selecting another cell.
If I click on a cell it enters edit mode correctly, the I can drop a popup window out from this editor to display the calendar. If however I move to another cell this window remains active.
Could anyone explain how to come out of edit mode when moving to another cell (not necessarily selecting just moving the mouse in to another) ?
I also have a second problem in that the calendar editor doesn't set the value in to the cell when choosing a date from the component. It keeps the original value that was in the cell. I have implemented a setValueAt() method so I'm not sure why this is not fired, any ideas?? Code is below :
public class DueDateTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    private Vector vAllDueDates = null;
    private Connection conn = null;
    private Statement stmt = null;
    private ResultSet rsDueDates = null;
    private int iColCount;
    private String sSqlDueDates = null;
    private String[] testColNames = null;
    public DueDateTableModel(int pColCount, Vector pAllDueDates, String[] pColNames){
        iColCount = pColCount;
        vAllDueDates = pAllDueDates;
        testColNames = pColNames;
        populateTableCells();
        //setupEditors();
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return iColCount;
    public int getRowCount() {
        return vAllDueDates.size();
    public String getColumnName(int iCol) {
          return testColNames[iCol];
    public Object getValueAt(int iRow, int iCol) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Vector v = (Vector)vAllDueDates.elementAt(iRow);
        return v.elementAt(iCol);
    public void setValueAt(Object oValue, int iRow, int iCol) {
        Vector v = (Vector)vAllDueDates.elementAt(iRow);
        v.setElementAt(oValue,iCol);
        fireTableCellUpdated(iRow,iCol);
    public boolean isCellEditable(int iRow, int iCol) {
        if(getValueAt(iRow,iCol)==null){
            return false;
        }else{
            return true;
    private class DueDateEditor extends CalendarComboBox implements TableCellEditor{
        //protected EventListenerList listenerList = new EventListenerList();
        //protected ChangeEvent changeEvent = new ChangeEvent(this);
        public DueDateEditor(){
            super();
        public void removeCellEditorListener(CellEditorListener l){
            //listenerList.remove(CellEditorListener.class, l);
        public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value
                , boolean isSelected, int row, int column){
            //Just return the input panel and not the panel that the calendar comboBox is on
            return this.inputPanel;
          public Object getCellEditorValue(){
              return this.getDate();
          public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject evt) {
            //if (evt instanceof MouseEvent) {
              //  return ((MouseEvent)evt).getClickCount() >= 2;
            return true;
          public boolean shouldSelectCell(EventObject anEvent){
              return false;
          public boolean stopCellEditing(){
              //this.setDate();
              return true;
          public void cancelCellEditing(){
          public void addCellEditorListener(CellEditorListener l){
              //listenerList.add(CellEditorListener.class, l);
          /*protected void fireEditingStopped() {
              CellEditorListener listener;
              Object[] listeners = listenerList.getListenerList();
               for (int i = 0; i < listeners.length; i++) {
                     if (listeners[i] == CellEditorListener.class) {
                            listener = (CellEditorListener) listeners[i + 1];
                            listener.editingStopped(changeEvent);
    }Sorry the classes are quite basic, I'm not very familiar with custom cell editors, I have normally used default ones like combobox etc.
