TableView setEditable is not working

Question

Hello, the method setEditable(boolean value) in TabeView is not working.
I read the documentation and I'm supposed to use de enter key, but it does not work. I also read in this forum, and I found that a bug was reported, but that forum thread was issued almost a year ago. So I was wondering if it is my javafx version that is giving me the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hello James, thanks for your answer.
I have used that same code, and it does not work for me. I even tried invoking setEditable on the TableColumns references.
And also I have updated JDK to the last version. 1.7.0_21.
