JTable Cell Editing

[dholland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (David Holland)]

	I appreciate the info, but I discovered the clickCountToStart method
yesturday afternoon, but I am still not getting the results I need.
(probably because I didn't state them clearly!)  so I will try to state my
need clearer

	I have a JTable with cells that initially contain a double value of
0.0   what I wish to do, is to be able to just select the table cell, and
have the 0.0 be hi-lighted (maybe the terminology is selected) so that I can
then type a new value, say 3 and it will stomp on the 0.0    Presently, I
have to double click on the cell, to have the 0.0 selected for being stomped
on.  Is it possible to do this?  If I use the clickCountToStart method, then
the editor is active when I select the cell, but I still have to hit
backspace, to delete the 0.0 first, or I would end up with 0.03 instead of
3.   (I hope I explained myself clearly this time!, but am still grateful
for the earlier help Carlo)
