If you insist on complicating matters, and doing it with both hands tied behind
your back by the GUI builder...
Select the JList. In the Properties window select the Properties tab and click
on the elipsis (...) to the right of the "model" row. This will open the model
dialog box for the JList. In the dialog box select "Custom code" in the "Set
model property" combo box. Enter your custom code...
Alternatively, you could just enter the code above as is and forget about the
GUI builder.

Heh, apparently I didn't cancel the post quickly enough! After I "gave
up" and posted that, *then* I figured it out. Hence the other thread
which you helped me out with :)
