Where does the reference to it come from? Possibly from some listeners, if yes then at what point we clear that references?

GenericEditor extends DefaultCellEditor which extends AbstractCellEditor which is Serializable so I guess by default that class becomes Serializable but in JTable other things are pointing to the fact editing should not be serialized so we have made the field in GenericEditor transient.

/** If editing, the <code>Component</code> that is handling the editing. */
    protected transient Component       editorComp;
