/**
* Demonstrates an elegant way how to connect a master list with a bound
* details view. It builds a JList of Albums with an attached details panel
* that presents the current Album selection. The details panel's components
* are bound to the domain using ValueModels returned by a PresentationModel.<p>
*
* This example does not require a custom ListSelectionListener to handle
* selection changes in the list of Albums. Instead it uses the SelectionInList
* as bean channel for the details PresentationModel. And so, whenever the
* SelectionInList's selection changes, the details PresentationModel will
* automatically update the bean used to display the details.<p>
*
* In contrast, the MasterDetailsBoundExample uses a ListSelectionListener
* to handle selection changes in the Album list. This listener then sets
* the current selection as the details PresentationModel's new bean.<p>
*
* Another variant of this example is the MasterDetailsDelayedReadExample
* that deferres selection changes for a specified delay. This can be useful
* if bean changes in the details PresentationModel require time consuming
* additional operations, for example a database lookup, a heavy computation,
* or a remote access.
