> How do I add a string to a JList?

As with all Swing components, get the underlying
model.  In the case of a JList, the "concrete"
underlying model is DefaultListModel, so when you
ask

   myList.getModel();

you have to typecast the returned value to DefaultListModel
in order to use the methods which add an object to the
list.  Note that the list may not contain just String
object, but any object which has a "toString()" method.


It may be time to read the tutorials on Swing at the
java.sun.com Web site, or better yet, get a good book
on Swing.  It's complex, so there's no better way
to invest in your career than to buy a good book now
and then.
