Problem with JTree custom renderer when editing

Question

I have a JTree which uses a custom renderer to display my own icons for different types of nodes. The problem I am having is when I setEditable to true and then attept to edit a node the icon switches back to the default icon, as soon as I am done editing it goes back.
What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Here is my rendererer
public class DeviceTreeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer implements GuiConstants {
   public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
      JLabel returnValue = (JLabel)super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
      if (value != null) {
         returnValue.setToolTipText(value.toString());
      if (value instanceof Device) {
         returnValue.setIcon(TREE_DEVICE);
         if (!((Device)value).isAlive()) {
            returnValue.setEnabled(false);
      else if (value instanceof GuiPanelGroup) {
         if (expanded) {
            returnValue.setIcon(TREE_PANEL_GROUP_OPEN);
         else {
            returnValue.setIcon(TREE_PANEL_GROUP_CLOSED);
      else if (value instanceof GuiPanel && ((GuiPanel)value).isDirty()) {
         returnValue.setIcon(TREE_PANEL_DIRTY);
      return returnValue;
}Here is my editor:
public class WwpJTreeCellEditor extends DefaultTreeCellEditor implements GuiConstants {
      private WwpJTree tree;
       * Creates a new WwpJTreeCellEditor.
       * @param tree The WwpJTree to associate with this editor.
      public WwpJTreeCellEditor(WwpJTree tree) {
         super(tree, (DefaultTreeCellRenderer)tree.getCellRenderer());
         this.tree = tree;
       * Overrides the default isCellEditable so that we check the isEditable() method
       * of the WwpJTreeNodes.
       * @param e An EventObject.
      public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject e) {
         boolean returnValue = super.isCellEditable(e);
         if (returnValue) {
            WwpJTreeNode node = this.tree.getSelectedNode();
            if (node == null || !node.isEditable() || node.isDragging()) {
               returnValue = false;
         return returnValue;
   }In my JTree I make these calls:
super.setCellRenderer(new DeviceTreeRenderer());
super.setCellEditor(new WwpJTreeCellEditor(this));
super.setEditable(true);
