Isn't this from a JFileChooser?  The user will have already made and unmade
whatever selections they wish.  It isn't until they press <ok> or whatever
you named the accept button that the getSelectedFiles() method will return
anything.

JList1 is your own copy of the data list, it isn't the same list as the
user is seeing embedded within the JFileChooser.  You can do anything you like
to JList1 and it won't affect the JFileChooser.
