java: why do I get two values when selecting a table row?

Hello Experts,

why do I get two values when selecting a row?
I get the following:
value selected: value 0
value selected: value 0
value selected: value 1
value selected: value 1
value selected: value 2
value selected: value 2
value selected: value 3
value selected: value 3

I want the return to be only one...

code below:
public class SplitPaneExample extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
	
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	JMenu menu;
	JMenuItem menuOpen, menuSave, menuQuit;
	JMenuBar menuBar;
	
	JFileChooser fileChoose;
	File file;
	FileReader fileReader;
	BufferedReader bufferReader;
	StringBuffer stringBuffer;
	
	JTextArea bottomArea, topLeft, topRight;
	JScrollPane scrollPane;
	
	JSplitPane hSplit, vSplit;
	JPanel mainPanel, leftPanel, rightPanel;
	
	JTable myLeftTable;
	JScrollPane myLeftTableScrollPane;
	@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
	Vector<Vector> leftTableContainer, rightTableContainer, bottomTableContainer;
	Vector<String> leftTableValues, rightTableValues, leftTableColumnName;

	
	public SplitPaneExample(){

	private void createUserInterface() {

		setBackground(Color.white);

	}
	
	public void setPanels(){

						System.out.println("value selected: " + valueSelected);
					}
				});
	    
		myLeftTableScrollPane = new JScrollPane(myLeftTable);
		return myLeftTableScrollPane;
	}
	
	@SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })

	}
	
	public Vector<String> getColumnName(){
		if(leftTableColumnName == null){			
			leftTableColumnName = new Vector<String>();
			leftTableColumnName.add("values:");			
			return leftTableColumnName;

	}

check this answer:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5865343/why-does-jtable-always-trigger-listselectionlistener-twice

Look at the event that is passed to your listener, specifically

ListSelectionEvent.getValueIsAdjusting()

perform whatever ops you want to do when this returns false.

check this:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/event/ListSelectionEvent.html#getValueIsAdjusting%28%29

getValueIsAdjusting

public boolean getValueIsAdjusting()

    Returns whether or not this is one in a series of multiple events, where changes are still being made. See the documentation for ListSelectionModel.setValueIsAdjusting(boolean) for more details on how this is used.

    Returns:
        true if this is one in a series of multiple events, where changes are still being made


----------------------

then go to your original code - then click on the upper row and drag the mouse down to the bottom
You'll see each time you cross the row - it prints the event

now go to the code with modification I posted above
do the same thing - you'll see only when you reach the last row it will printout the
value selected event.

So this getValueIsAdjusting()  is a pretty useful method
