Pls help with JTree editor problem

Question

Hi,
I have a JTree where each node in the tree is a JPanel. In each
JPanel are two JTextField objects. Only one of the JTextField objects
is editable.
When I click on node (a line in the JTree) with the mouse, it is
painted using the custom editor (TreeCellEditor) that I have written.
When the selected and editable JTextField has the focus, and when a
certain key is hit, I capture that key, do some things, and then select
a different node in the JTree.
When selecting the new node, I need the node to be painted with
the editor, just as if I had clicked on it with the mouse.
In the method called as a result of the key binding, I call the
following --
TreeUI.stopEditing( JTree ) -- stops editing of the cell that resulted
in the key binding call
TreeUI.startEditingAtPath( JTree, TreePath )
-- according to the JavaDocs, this should select the new cell and
start editting of it.
This last method does call my editor to get the components, but then my
Renderer is also called (twice in fact). When the cell is painted, it is
painted with the Renderer's components.
PLEASE HELP HERE !

Thank you so much for giving a reply to this problem.
I will experiment with your suggestion. However, in looking at the JavaDocs
I would need to make one class that implements both TreeCellEditor and
TreeCellRenderer, with the methods getTreeCellEditorComponent() and getTreeCellRendererComponent(). Since currently, my editor is called and then
my renderer is called, over-writing the editor's result, I would suspect that
both of these methods would also be called (even though they are in the same
class), having the same effect.
Again, thank you.
