## Class AbstractCellEditor

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.swing.AbstractCellEditor

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `Serializable`, `CellEditor`
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    `DefaultCellEditor`

      public abstract class AbstractCellEditor
      extends Object
      implements CellEditor, Serializable

  A base class for `CellEditors`, providing default implementations for the methods in the `CellEditor` interface except `getCellEditorValue()`. Like the other abstract implementations in Swing, also manages a list of listeners.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

  Since:
    1.3
