To produce a component, cell renderers all contain a getTableCellRendererComponent method. All cell renderers must have that method because existence is imposed by the TableCellRenderer interface.

In the tables that you have seen, the components displayed in table cells are supplied by the getTableCellRendererComponent method in the DefaultTableCellRenderer class, because an instance of the DefaultTableCellRenderer class is used, by default, in JTable instances.
