/**
 * A semantic event which indicates that an item was selected or deselected.
 * This high-level event is generated by an ItemSelectable object (such as a 
 * List) when an item is selected or deselected by the user.
 * The event is passed to every <code>ItemListener</code> object which
 * registered to receive such events using the component's
 * <code>addItemListener</code> method. 
 * <P>
 * The object that implements the <code>ItemListener</code> interface gets
 * this <code>ItemEvent</code> when the event occurs. The listener is
 * spared the details of processing individual mouse movements and mouse
 * clicks, and can instead process a "meaningful" (semantic) event like
 * "item selected" or "item deselected".
