The method I call for deleting a selected item from the JList is the
following (model is the instance of BrowserModel):

private void list_deleteObj() {
      int idx = dirList.getSelectedIndex();
      String dn = LDAPMgr.ldapUtility.getDN(
              model.getListModel().getElementAt(idx) );
      int ans = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this,
              "Confirm delete for:\n" + dn + "\n",
              "Delete Object", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
              JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);
      if (ans == 1)
              return;
      String msg = null;
      msg = LDAPMgr.ldapUtility.deleteEntry(
              model.getListModel().getElementAt(idx));
      /* if successful */
      if (msg == null) {
              model.getListModel().remove(idx);
              /* reload the subtree and list to show deletion */
              refresh();
      }
}


What thread is the above method being executed on? If it's not the EDT you have
a problem there, you are modifying the JList in a thread other than the EDT.

The error is telling you that when the EDT came to draw a JList it tried to
access element 1 and that element didn't exist in the the DefaultListModel's
Vector at the time. That would imply a synchronization error, the Vector is in
the process of being modified whilst it's being drawn (the JList and
DefaultTreeModel have a different idea of how many elements there are), and I
don't see how that can happen unless it's being modified from another thread -
even the EDT can only do one thing at a time...
