The reason is that a11y API lacks appropriate method.There's only 'javax.accessibility.AccessibleSelection#addAccessibleSelection' which is mapped to 'javax.swing.JList#addSelectionInterval', it can not be used to set selected index.

We are trying not to use wildcard imports - probably automatic optimization of the IDE did it? I am always turning it off or set margin so high it is not triggered on anything with less then 200 individual package imports.

We are not using author tags in tests either - but that's just a nitpick.
