The JList Class
The JList
class is the generic Swing
implementation of a list component. The class works reasonably well
as a drop-in replacement for the AWT
List class. If the selection mode is set
appropriately, you can make multiple selections by clicking with the
mouse while holding down the “Shift” or
“Ctrl” modifier keys. Unlike AWT, the
JList class does not provide scrolling
capabilities; it must be set as the viewport of a
JScrollPane in order to support scrolling. Figure 7.8 shows the JList component
with three separate look-and-feels.

Properties
The JList class essentially combines the features
of the data model, the selection model, and the cell renderer into a
single Swing component. The properties of the
JList class are shown in Table 7.9.
