How to use the Delete key to delete rows from a JTable?

Question

I have a program with an editable JTable. I am attempting to create a key binding for the table that will delete the rows selected by the user when the Delete key is pressed. This is the code for my key binding:

inventoryTable.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, 0), "delete");
inventoryTable.getActionMap().put("delete", new RemoveSelectedAction());

However, when I press the Delete key while one or more rows are selected, no rows are deleted, and the selected cell displays its editor.

Having looked at the answers here and here, I suspect the problem is this: because my table is editable, the selected cell is intercepting the keypress before it reaches the JTable's key binding.

1. Am I correct in my assessment of why the Delete key is not behaving as desired?
2. How do I get the keypress to reach the JTable's binding?

UPDATE: When I changed my table model's isCellEditable method to return false for all cells, the key binding worked as expected, so I am now almost certain that the problem is the keypress being intercepted by the selected cell.

This is the code that produces the problem:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class TableDeleteRowsTest extends JFrame
{
   public TableDeleteRowsTest()
   {
      setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
      String[] columnNames = { "A", "B", "C" };
      Object[][] data = {
      { "foo", "bar", "baz" },
      { 1, 2, 3 }
      };
      JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
      JTable table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
      table.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(
      KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, 0), "delete");
      table.getActionMap().put("delete", new AbstractAction()
         {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
               System.out.println("In the actual program, this will delete the rows currently selected by the user.");
            }
         }); 
      contentPane.add(table);
      contentPane.setOpaque(true);
      setContentPane(contentPane);
   }

   public static void createAndShowGUI()
   {
      TableDeleteRowsTest test = new TableDeleteRowsTest();
      test.pack();
      test.setVisible(true);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
         {
            public void run()
            {
               createAndShowGUI();
            }
         });
   }
}
