Using setValueAt to recreate mutually exclusive check boxes

Don’t add your own MouseListener. Instead override setValueAt() in the TableModel to see the new value set by the default editor for Boolean.class.

Addendum: Here’s an sscce. For expedience, it simply clears all entries in CHECK_COL, sets the new value and conditions the button accordingly.
