Problem with focus on JList

java-programmer, Problem with focus on JList Hi!
I got 2 JLists . I doubleclick an item to display it's details.
This works fine so far, but:
When I select an item in JList1 and in JList2 the Mouselistener doesn't
know from which JList he should get the item.
So I had the idea that when you select an item in JList1 JList2 should
loose all selections.
But I just don't get it done.
any ideas?

How would I implement two different MouseListeners?
My code is sth like this:
JList dataList = new JList();
JList charList = new JList();
dataList.addMouseListener(this);
charList.addMouseListener(this);
I'm using a MouseEventListener because I want to double-Click the item
to show its details (it opens another window showing some text).
This code is like this:
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (dataList.getSelectedIndex() >= 0 && (e.getClickCount() == 2)){
mymethod(); }
