Table selection listener

[leda]

Im calling selection table.setSelection and nothing happens.
why isnt the listener responding?

public class Table2 {

static private Table table;

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
table = new Table(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.SINGLE);
TableColumn column = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
column.setWidth(100);
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(table, SWT.NULL);
item.setText("Item " + i);
}

table.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {

public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
int i = table.getSelectionIndex();
if (i < 0)
return;
// synchronize contact details with the selected contact
System.out.println("hello"+i);
}
});

table.setSize(200, 200);

table.setSelection(5); // <<<<===============
//table.notifyListeners(SWT.Selection, null); THIS HALPES!!!!!!!

shell.pack();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}

Q: Why are some events like Selection not fired in response to programmatic widget changes?
A: This is a design decision that was made in order to minimize notification of potentially unwanted events. For example, when the selection of a control is changed programmatically, SWT does not issue a selection event. If this were not the case then changing the selection multiple times would send multiple notifications and run application listener code multiple times, thereby leading to a potential performance problem. Clients that wish to notify widget listeners of changes made programatically can do so by creating an Event object and invoking Widget.notifyListeners(int, Event) on the widget. Note that some programmatically-triggered events are sent, typically in response to low-level widget operations such as focus, move and resize changes.
