You can implement your own javax.swing.ListCellRenderer for the JList and
implement the getListCellRendererComponent method to return a check box. The
check box comes with its own label (see setText() method); so you don't need
to handle that separately.

ListCellRender is an interface.  DefaultListCellRenderer is a concrete class
that extends JLabel.

HTH.
