Based on @Courteaux's answer, this method clicks the first cell in a JTable:

private void clickFirstCell() {
    try {
        jTable1.changeSelection(0, 0, false, false);
        Point p = jTable1.getLocationOnScreen();
        Rectangle cellRect = jTable1.getCellRect(0, 0, true);
        Robot r = new Robot();
        Point mouse = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
        r.mouseMove(p.x + cellRect.x + cellRect.width / 2, 
                p.y + cellRect.y + cellRect.height / 2);
        r.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
        try {
            Thread.sleep(50);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }
        r.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK);
        r.mouseMove(mouse.x, mouse.y);
    } catch (AWTException ex) {
    }
}
