JList - deselect when clicking an already selected item

Question

If a selected index on a JList is clicked, I want it to de-select. In other words, clicking on the indices actually toggles their selection. Didn\'t look like this was suppo

Answer 1

You could always the ListSelectionListener instead of deciphering the point clicked and then translating it to the item selected.

In the above link for java file there is an implementation which can be easily improved to do "deselection" :)
