Ah OK, so there's that at least.
This simple extension of the JTable was the shortest I could come up with for sample code.  So if we have MyCustomTable extends JTable then create a listener inside a method of MyCustomTable we can reference the instance of the MyCustomTable the listener is being added to with the MyCustomTable.this.  I have seen that syntax before, haven't realized a practical use for it.
