How to create a JTable cell containing Image hyperlink?

Question

I'm trying to find out how to create a JTable cell which contains Image, which should be clickable like an hyperlink. I'm able to load Image using default image renderer.

Can somebody explain me how to add hyperlink (mouse listener) for the each image (cell) in the last column of my table? so that, when the image link in jTable cell is clicked, I want it to open a pop-up with some message showing the error message.

Thanks, Chandra

To launch link in machine's default browser:

URI uri = null;
try {
    uri = new URI(urlToOpen);
} catch (URISyntaxException e1) {
    System.out.println("Malformed URI: " + uri);
}
Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
try {
    desktop.browse(uri);
} catch (IOException e2) {
    // If the user default browser is not found, or it fails
    // to be launched, or the default handler application
    // failed to be launched
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
        "The application could not find any compatible browser.");
}

You can do this on click of Image.

Edit based on comments:

Add listener to image and then you can open a JOptionPane or JDialog on click of Image.
