As an alternative, use a JComboBox as an editor for mutually exclusive choices within a row. For convenience, DefaultCellEditor offers a constructor especially for this. The result also makes more efficient use of horizontal space in the row. DependentColumn is an example, shown below. See also these other alternatives.
