Can anyone please tell me how to take an object and give it a name using a
string? For example, I have an object of type relation (my own class) called
"rel1", and I want to give it a name like "My relation" so that I can
display this name in a JList instead of the actual object's name ("rel1").

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Someone suggested using forname in the
java.lang.class package, but I didn't understand it. I don't know if it is
what I needed anyway. Please could you reply to sc0tt@talk21.com.

Thanks,
Scott
