From Fabien Barbero:

Hi,

Is threre a way to do it ??

Currently it is possible, but it requires too much code:

// import org.fest.swing.util.Platform. controlOrCommandKey;
dialog.list("someList").pressKey(controlOrCommandKey())
                       .selectItem("two")
                       .selectItem("three")
                       .releaseKey(controlOrCommandKey());

The code above will press either the "Control" or "Command" button (depending 
if you
are using Windows, OSX, etc.) and then selects the items "two" and "three" from 
the
JList (plus the selection mode of the JList needs to be 
MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION).

We need to add a shortcut method...something like this:

dialog.list("someList").selecteItems("two", "three").

The same applies for the JTree.

You will probably need to distinguish between selecting item 3 to 8 (and all in
between, using SHIFT) and just wanting to select item 3 and 8 (using CONTROL)
