Read the section from the Swing tutorial on [How to Use Lists](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/list.html) for a working example. That is start with the tutorials for the basics, not the forum. — camickr, Mar 20 '13 at 15:11

Put your JList in a JScrollPane

JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
JList list = new JList();
scrollPane.setViewportView(list);

@hiii It sounds like you are getting confused with a visual form designer. What IDE are you using? – Duncan Jones Mar 20 '13 at 12:03
