Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The CellEditor javadoc indicates that the class JCellEditor is an example of an implementation that should be seen.  JCellEditor does not exist.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
JCellEditor should have been part of the Java API or should have been on the sun website somewhere. 
ACTUAL -
JCellEditor does not exist.  Even a google search only returns references to the javadoc for CellEditor.

URL OF FAULTY DOCUMENTATION :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/CellEditor.html

Comments
EVALUATION Should be "DefaultCellEditor" rather than "JCellEditor".
