Populating a JList with Data

Question

Does anyone have any good tutorials on how to populate a JList (inside JPanel ) with user input. In particular, I want to add people to the selected list. Is it a matter of filling it with an ArrayList ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

• create a ListModel that wraps your java.util.List (e.g. extending AbstractListModel)
• configure jlist to use this model
• create and configure a visualizer to format / display objects in your list as needed
