'designer friendliness' was not high on the list  of considerations that
went into making swing. The
dbswing component  JdbList extends JList to provide some properties that
make it easier to use in the designer, such as an items property so that
the component can be intialized with a static list of data . If you use
JList, one thing you can do is select the model property in the inspector
and then use the context menu and select "Expose as class level vairable".
This will cause a variable for the list model to appear under the 'Others'
folder. The ListModel still does not expose any usefull properites for
intializing the data, but it does expose the events so at least the events
can be wired up.
