JTable uses special format for Date?

I extended both TableModel and Date.

If I return the real class type of the date object in getColumnClass(), then the date gets formated like (mm dd, yyyy) and it never calles toString().

But if I say it's Object, it calles toString(), and correctly uses the format in the API, (dow mon dd hh:mm:ss zzz yyyy).

Anyone else seen similar problem?

So I'm having it lie in getColumnClass(), but still return the Date object in getValueAt(). And when I need to get the real class type I do so by calling getValueAt().getClass(), instead of using getColumnClass();
