Getting position of Component in Swing

Question

I have a JTable that's buried in my UI. I get a Rectangle object for one of my cells. From what I understand, this cells Rectangle (aka bounds) are relative to its container (a JPanel).

What I need is this rectangles location relative to its containing JFrame. I am aware of

SwingUtilities.convertPoint(Component source,
                                 Point aPoint,
                                 Component destination)

And I call it like so:

SwingUtilities.convertPoint(jtable,
                            tableCellRectangle.getLocation(),
                            jframe);

The converted point however is not correct. I am thinking passing in the jtable is not correct. I am not sure what exactly to pass in for the first parameter. Can anyone provide insight how I can convert my point?

*"From what I understand, this cells Rectangle (aka bounds) are relative to its container (a JPanel)"* - To the `JTable`. *"The converted point however is not correct.
