How to remove JTable cell bgColor when hovering on another cell?

I have created my own TableCellEditor for a JTable column to do some special stuff while editing the cells of this column.

In that TableCellEditor i define a color when a cell in that column is hovered, like this :

public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,boole开发者_运维技巧an isSelected, int row, int column) {  
    if( isSelected )  // User clicked on this cell.
        setBackground( selectedRowBG );
    else if( rowIndexToHighlight == row  )  // user is hovering on this cell.
        setBackground( hoveredRowBG );
    else  // Set default cell color.
        setBackground( unHoveredRowBG );

    return this;
}

My problem is when i hover with the mouse on a cell in that special column the cell background color becomes "hoveredRowBG", then if i move with the mouse to a cell in another column or move to empty space in the table(That has no rows), the special cell bgColor still has the "hoveredRowBG" color. I want to remove that hovering color when such action happens.

Any ideas?

Just store the actual highlighted row somewhere and test, while hovering, if it has changed. If yes, unhighlight the last highlighted and store the actual one. lastHighlightedRow is a field in my example, you may need another place to store the value.

public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {  
    if( isSelected )  // User clicked on this cell.
        setBackground( selectedRowBG );
    else if( rowIndexToHighlight == row  ) {  // user is hovering on this cell.
        if (!(lastHighlightedRow == this)) {
           lastHighlightedRow.setBackground(unHoveredRowBG);
           lastHighlightedRos = this;
        }
        setBackground( hoveredRowBG );
    }

    return this;
}
