Select Multiple Items In JList Without Using The Ctrl/Command Key

Question

I am looking for a way to select multiple items within a JList by just clicking each item.

The normal way to do this is to hold the command/ctrl key and then click.

I think you can easily accomplish this by attaching a mouse listener on your JList and selecting programatically the item in the listener code. Of course you will probably need some code to determine which item was pressed basing on some coordinates.
