Thank you n00213f. The thread and example from your post were helpful. By overloading the changeSelection method in JTable as hinted to in the thread, JTable checks if a cell is editable every time the selection is changed. If the cell is editable, it will show the CellEditor and transfer focus to the editor component.

For completeness, here is my solution:

  JTable myTable = new javax.swing.JTable()
  {
            public void changeSelection(final int row, final int column, boolean toggle, boolean extend)
            {
                super.changeSelection(row, column, toggle, extend);
                myTable.editCellAt(row, column);
                myTable.transferFocus();
            }
  };
