JDK-8154215 - Simplify selection model code by removing use of ReadOnlyUnbackedObservableList
Description
This is a larger undertaking compared to JDK-8154216 (selectedItems), because far more custom changes are fired on the selectedIndices list. I did some very early exploration but have run out of time (and realised this was going to be a rabbit hole to fully resolve), so I am attaching the exploration code as a patch here.
Comments
The following changeset is the first step towards this being resolved. The transition is still incomplete, but I wanted to get this first step in to allow for testing and evaluation. Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/9-dev/rt/rev/29941485bffe
