You are confusing Editors and Renderers. Editor is a widget displayed when a cell is being edited. When the cell is no longer edited, the cell renderer is used to "paint" the cell.

What you should do, is use a Custom CellRenderer for the involved column so that it uses your date formatter.

Take a look at this tutorial for more information on cell editors and cell renderers.
