a dblclick would be
press
release
press

You prpbally want to time the clicks, so you can tell
that it's an actuall dblclick,
vs. click ..wait ten minutes... click

The following is from the 1.4.1 API documentation for JList:

JList doesn't provide any special support for handling double or triple (or N) mouse clicks however it's easy to handle them using a MouseListener. Use the JList method locationToIndex() to determine what cell was clicked. For example:

final JList list = new JList(dataModel);
MouseListener mouseListener = new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getClickCount() == 2) {
int index = list.locationToIndex(e.getPoint());
System.out.println("Double clicked on Item " + index);
}
}
};
list.addMouseListener(mouseListener);

Note that in this example the dataList is final because it's referred to by the anonymous MouseListener class.
