The doc comments for
javax.swing.table.DefaultTableCellRenderer.setValue(Object)
are somewhat lacking in clarity.

See
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableCellRenderer.html#setValue(java.lang.Object)

----------------

16 Mar 2000, eval1127@eng -- the method's argument is an Object, but the description
suggests that the only acceptable argument is a String.

Thus, beginning the summary with "Sets the _string_" is confusing. It might be helpful
to say "String object" or such?


from the kestrel docs,
    http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableCellRenderer.html :


setValue

protected void setValue(Object value)

      Sets the string for the cell being rendered to value.

      Parameters:
            value - the string value for this cell; if value is null it sets the text value to an empty string
      See Also:
            JLabel.setText(java.lang.String)
