/**
 * This interface defines the methods any general editor should be able
 * to implement. <p>
 *
 * Having this interface enables complex components (the client of the
 * editor) such as <code>JTree</code> and
 * <code>JTable</code> to allow any generic editor to
 * edit values in a table cell, or tree cell, etc.  Without this generic
 * editor interface, <code>JTable</code> would have to know about specific editors,
 * such as <code>JTextField</code>, <code>JCheckBox</code>, <code>JComboBox</code>,
 * etc.  In addition, without this interface, clients of editors such as
 * <code>JTable</code> would not be able
 * to work with any editors developed in the future by the user
 * or a 3rd party ISV. <p>
 *
 * To use this interface, a developer creating a new editor can have the
 * new component implement the interface.  Or the developer can
 * choose a wrapper based approach and provide a companion object which
 * implements the <code>CellEditor</code> interface (See
 * <code>DefaultCellEditor</code> for example).  The wrapper approach
 * is particularly useful if the user want to use a 3rd party ISV
 * editor with <code>JTable</code>, but the ISV didn't implement the
 * <code>CellEditor</code> interface.  The user can simply create an object
 * that contains an instance of the 3rd party editor object and "translate"
 * the <code>CellEditor</code> API into the 3rd party editor's API.
