      public class DefaultTableCellRenderer
      extends JLabel
      implements TableCellRenderer, Serializable

  The standard class for rendering (displaying) individual cells in a `JTable`.

  Implementation Note: This class inherits from `JLabel`, a standard component class. However `JTable` employs a unique mechanism for rendering its cells and therefore requires some slightly modified behavior from its cell renderer. The table class defines a single cell renderer and uses it as a as a rubber-stamp for rendering all cells in the table; it renders the first cell, changes the contents of that cell renderer, shifts the origin to the new location, re-draws it, and so on. The standard `JLabel` component was not designed to be used this way and we want to avoid triggering a `revalidate` each time the cell is drawn. This would greatly decrease performance because the `revalidate` message would be passed up the hierarchy of the container to determine whether any other components would be affected. As the renderer is only parented for the lifetime of a painting operation we similarly want to avoid the overhead associated with walking the hierarchy for painting operations. So this class overrides the `validate`, `invalidate`, `revalidate`, `repaint`, and `firePropertyChange` methods to be no-ops and override the `isOpaque` method solely to improve performance. If you write your own renderer, please keep this performance consideration in mind.

  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`.

      Returns the default table cell renderer.

      During a printing operation, this method will be called with `isSelected` and `hasFocus` values of `false` to prevent selection and focus from appearing in the printed output.

        `hasFocus` - true if cell has focus
        `row` - the row of the cell to render
