Issues with ListSelectionEvent

[F00 23]

I attempted to make a simple GUI for my script, and the primary components are a combobox, a jlist, and a button. I'm having an issue where when I add a ListSelectionListener and attempt to use .equals() or .contains()  on Jlist.getSelectedValue() it freezes the list and stops it from updating when I select a new combobox item.

the method looks like this :

 

private void locationListActionPerformed(ListSelectionEvent e)
{
   if (!e.getValueIsAdjusting()) {
      String location = locationList.getSelectedValue();
      if (location.equals("Lumbridge Swamp") || location.equal("Lumbridge River")) {
         bankCheckBox.setSelected( false );
         bankCheckBox.setEnabled( false );
      } else {
         bankCheckBox.setEnabled(true);
      }
   }

}

however if I use location == "Lumbridge Swamp" it works just fine.

Could someone please explain why this is happening. Thank you.

getSelectedValue returns an Object, you must either cast it to String or add a .toString();

also its .equals("...") not .equal("..)

I checked the value that I get from getSelectedValue with getClass() and it returns that its a String. If I try to cast it or use .toString() I get a redundancy warning.
