Answer 1

Add a boolean field to the listener to prevent recursion:

checkBoxCombo.getCheckModel().getCheckedItems().addListener(new ListChangeListener<String>() {

    private boolean changing = false;

    @Override
    public void onChanged(ListChangeListener.Change<? extends String> c) {
        if (!changing && checkBoxCombo.getCheckModel().isChecked(0)) {
            // trigger no more calls to checkAll when the selected items are modified by checkAll
            changing = true;
            checkBoxCombo.getCheckModel().checkAll();
            changing = false;
        }
    }
});
