Select same item (AGAIN) in JComboBox

Question

I don't know, if it's feature or bug :) But JCombobox do not "fire action" when I select same item again (value, which is already selected). But i need to call action ALWAYS when user select some item, even if he select already selected item. Anyone knows how to do it? Thanx

Bug,... well, try this...
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class jComboBoxAction extends JPanel  {
JComboBox jc;
    public  jComboBoxAction() {
      jc = new JComboBox();
      jc.addItem("France");
      jc.addItem("Germany");
      jc.addItem("Italy");
      jc.addItem("Japan");
      add(jc);
      jc.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        System.out.println(""+jc.getSelectedItem());
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.getContentPane().add(new  jComboBoxAction());
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(200, 200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
}
