Get a j check box to call a method when selected

I've created a GUI with a couple of check boxes. I want one check box to call a method when selected and a different method when deselected and the same with the other check box but obviously with different methods. Had a look at the java documentation but couldn't work out. any ideas?

Add an appropriate listener.The listener is called when the JCheckBox is selected/deselected

By default the same method is called with an event which tells you if the JCheckBox was selected or not.You can check e.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED and call one method if true, and another if

sorted it. I tried these things out to start with but just noticed I didn't add the item listener to the component! doh! thanks for responding.
