My thoughts about this. The object which implements the interface is always the "editor", even if it is not a component. I guess you are mixing it with the other classes like "JEditorPane/JTextField/etc". 

The current spec:

>This interface defines the method any object that would like to be
an editor of values for components such as <code>JListBox</code>,
<code>JComboBox</code>, <code>JTree</code>, or <code>JTable</code>
needs to implement.

This means that the application may have some values/data stored in the JComboBox/JTree/JTable and the application may create a cell editor by implementing the TableCellEditor. That editor then could be used as a cell editor in the "main" JTable.

So the next statement in the description of this PR is not completely right:
> "CellTableEditor Interface doesn't support JComboBox and JTree components"

The JComboBox and other classes do not have to implement/support that interface.
