/**
* 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".
* <p>
* An unspecified behavior will be caused if the {@code id} parameter
* of any particular {@code ItemEvent} instance is not
* in the range from {@code ITEM_FIRST} to {@code ITEM_LAST}.
* <p>
* The {@code stateChange} of any {@code ItemEvent} instance takes one of the following
* values:
* <ul>
* <li> {@code ItemEvent.SELECTED}
* <li> {@code ItemEvent.DESELECTED}
* </ul>
* Assigning the value different from listed above will cause an unspecified behavior.
