There are times a JList (in a JScrollPane) is reloaded. On some
platforms, apparently, when I reload it, even though I make sure the same
item stays selected, users report that the list then resets to show the
top of the list only.

Maybe I'm mixing things up, but I was sure I saw something like
scrollToSelected() for a JList or JScrollPane, but I can't find it in the
API index and couldn't find it in a search. Is it under a different
wording or is there another method that scrolls a JList to show the
selected item?

Thanks!

See JList.ensureIndexIsVisible() and JList.setSelectedValue()

Great! I knew about setSelectedValue(), but the ensureIndexIsVisible() is
exactly what I was looking for! I guess it's a case of tunnel vision where
I was so stuck on what I thought I saw I missed what I needed.

Thanks!
