Intercepting Jlist selections

Thread view:

I'm trying to intercept mouse clicks on jlist items so that if the mouse is
clicked is some empty part of the list, the selection is cleared.

I've tried using a MouseAdapter to catch the mouse clicks but this is
called after the list gets the mouse event.

Any ideas on how I might do this?

yes, since this falls under UI responsibility you have to write your own
ListUI (or better extend existing one)

Okay, I'll find some documentation on it.

Thanks
