Is there a way to drag and drop from a JList without having to first select an item in the list?

I have enabled Drag and Drop in a JList (I'm running j2sdk 1.4.2). I
did a setDragEnabled(true) on the JList, and also a
setTransferHandler(). It works except that I have to first click to
select an item in the list and then click drag to start the drag and
drop operation. Is there enable drag and drop on a JList without
having to first select an item in the list?

Thanks,
J. Anderson
