                                           int column)  
     Sets an initial `value` for the editor. This will cause the editor to `stopEditing` and lose any partially edited value if the editor is editing when this method is called.  
      Returns the component that should be added to the client's`Component` hierarchy. Once installed in the client's hierarchy this component will then be able to draw and receive user input.  
     Parameters:  
     `table` \- the `JTable` that is asking the editor to edit; can be `null`  
     `value` \- the value of the cell to be edited; it is up to the specific editor to interpret and draw the value. For example, if value is the string "true", it could be rendered as a string or it could be rendered as a check box that is checked. `null` is a valid value  
     `isSelected` \- true if the cell is to be rendered with highlighting  
     `row` \- the row of the cell being edited  
     `column` \- the column of the cell being edited  
     Returns:  
     the component for editing
