That will work, but an alternative you might consider is creating a
ComboBoxModel derived class and assigning it to the JComboBox instance
you're interested in.  With a ComboBoxModel class, the combo box is
automatically updated when the underlying list is updated.  That way,
you are no longer dependent on the specific user interface you choose
to implement.
