/**
* This class is a workaround for a bug in Java (4503845)
* see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4503845
* Although the state appears as fixed, it does not yet work on 1.5
* (see the comments at the end on the previous page)
* <p/>
* The bug refers to tables with editing cells. When the user interacts
* with other UI element -or other cell in the table-, the editor component
* should receive a stopCellEditing call.
* This does not happen if the user selects a UI element outside the table.
* <p/>
* For example:
* - A dialog contains a table and a Cancel button that, before closing,
* verifies whether there are changes to save.
* -The user is modifying one cell and then presses the Cancel button
* -Then the cell editor does not receive an stopCellEditing call, so
* there seems to be no changes to save!
* <p/>
* A basic solution for this last example would be to call to
* table.getCellEditor().stopCellEditing() when reacting to events on the
* Cancel button, but this call should be made on every event handler for
* each UI element!
* <p/>
* This class works by listening to focus events when a cell editor is selected.
* If the focus is transfered to any place outside the table, it calls to
* stopCellEditing()
* Why is it not enough to check the focus on just the editor component?
* => Because the TableCellEditor could be composed of multiple Components
