public class NonNullableComboBoxModel
extends javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel

The NonNullableComboBoxModel is a simple class for ensuring that a JComboBox will always have an item selected (if that we start with a non-empty list.) This will prevent the user from Control-clicking in the list to unselect the selected item in the JComboBox.

This can be used to guarantee that there is always a selected item in the combo box model. If the user attempts to unselect an item, the previously selected item will remain selected. The selection will be empty only if the combo box model is empty.
