import javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor;

public class Main extends JPanel {
  List<TableCellEditor> editors = new ArrayList<TableCellEditor>(3);

  public Main() {
    setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    String[] items1 = { "Red", "Blue", "Green" };
    JComboBox<String> comboBox1 = new JComboBox<String>(items1);
    DefaultCellEditor dce1 = new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox1);
    editors.add(dce1);

    String[] items2 = { "Circle", "Square", "Triangle" };
    JComboBox<String> comboBox2 = new JComboBox<String>(items2);
    DefaultCellEditor dce2 = new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox2);
    editors.add(dce2);

    String[] items3 = { "Apple", "Orange", "Banana" };
    JComboBox<String> comboBox3 = new JComboBox<String>(items3);
    DefaultCellEditor dce3 = new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox3);
    editors.add(dce3);

    Object[][] data = { { "Color", "Red" }, { "Shape", "Square" },
        { "Fruit", "Banana" }, { "Plain", "Text" } };
    String[] columnNames = { "Type", "Value" };
    DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(data, columnNames);
    JTable table = new JTable(model) {
      public TableCellEditor getCellEditor(int row, int column) {
        int modelColumn = convertColumnIndexToModel(column);

        if (modelColumn == 1 && row < 3)
          return editors.get(row);
        else
          return super.getCellEditor(row, column);
      }

    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.add(new Main());
    frame.setSize(200, 200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
