The default UI delegate for JComboBox on Mac OS X is com.apple.laf.AquaComboBoxUI. You can replace it with your own variation of BasicComboBoxUI. There's a related example here and a more complete example in the MacWidgets collection suggested by @Dilum.

Here are the key steps:

  1. Create a JComboBox with the appropriate L&F.
  2. Create a TableCellEditor with the comboBox, for example using DefaultCellEditor
  3. Set the editor on your JTable using setDefaultEditor(...)

TableCellRenderer getDefaultRenderer(Class columnClass)
