FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

ADDITIONAL OPERATING SYSTEMS :
Should be applicable to all OSs

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

To drag an object from a JList it is required that the
object is first selected, then, in a second mouse gesture,
dragged. This is contrary to the expected user experience
(e.g. in Windows Explorer) where you can select and drag
in a single gesture. Not that the list selection event
should not be fired until MOUSE UP to enable dragging an
object to another pane that might switch contents due to a
list selection event (c.f. the tree and directory panes of
Windows Explorer).

This is a duplicate of 4425334 which should not have been
closed.

This IS a bug, even if by design! Compare this with Windows, 
where you can click and drag an object in a list which was 
not previously the selection.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Compile the below code and execute it.
2) Press LEFT mouse button on a non-selected item of JList.
3) Start dragging without releasing the mouse button.

You will see that nothing gets dragged.
