Does the JGoodies list binding support binding list contents to a list object in the model? I know I can add listeners to the list model and domain model and coordinate changes between the two fairly easily, but I wasn't sure if JGoodies would do that. I could only find list binding that dealt with list selection events.

I'd suggest you use GlazedLists. It's really easy to use and works great.
One issue is you have to use one of their classes that implements EventList; you can't just bind a list model to a pre-existing List.

Thanks. I think requiring to use an EventList is problematic in this case though. I have a custom list (that uses checkboxes). – Jeff Storey Feb 16 '10 at 19:40

That's not hard to do. Decouple your raw data model from the rendering of your data... typically what I do is have a XXXXBean class to represent the data itself, then I use a custom TableFormat from GlazedLists to control the output of the results for the different fields of the data. I am pretty sure that if a field is a boolean then it automatically displays a checkbox. (if not then you just have to add renderers for checkboxes) – Jason S Feb 16 '10 at 19:43

I do have it separated, though I like to keep a separate model that indicates which items are "checkbox selected" (vs the list selection model). I could probably build that functionality into the list model itself rather than giving the list 2 models (the 2 model are the ListModel and the CheckBoxListModel). – Jeff Storey Feb 16 '10 at 20:11

But, I will look into GlazedLists, but I think I'm still trying to figure out if the JGoodies binding will do this... – Jeff Storey Feb 18 '10 at 00:39

It looks like the LinkedListModel and ArrayListModel do this. I overlooked those before.
