JDK-4318851 - ItemEvent not triggered List,Choice,CheckBox,CheckboxMenuItem
Description
Calling JCheckBox.setSelected(true) will generate an ItemEvent.  This makes it really difficult to toggle buttons.   Checkbox.setState() does not generate ItemEvents.  Source code attached.

Comments
EVALUATION It's unclear as to whether these events should be generated or not on a programatic toggle. Needs to be revisited. jeff.dinkins@Eng 1998-03-16 Unforutnatly, I'm very hesitant to change this behavior now that it's been out for awhile. jeff.dinkins@Eng 1999-06-25
