Answer 1

Override the getCellRenderer() method to return an appropriate renderer. Something like:

@Override
public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
{
    int modelColumn = convertColumnIndexToView(column);

    if (modelColumn == 0 && getValueAt(row, column).equals(""))
        return getDefaultRenderer(String.class);
    else
        return super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
}

You would also need to change the data in the model:

{"", "File", ""},

Finally you would also override the isCellEditable() method to make the empty cell non editable.

Then you can just use the default Boolean renderer/editor for the other rows in the column.
