    Default Problem with jList

    Hello,
    I am very new to java, I have written some codes that has displayed a jList and jButton on a GUI. I have some text files (like assignment.txt etc) that I have saved in the same package with my source code. If I click a button, I want the .txt file to be read and displayed on the jList.

    I used buffered reader with AWT and it worked well for me. I simply used

    titlesList. add(c);

    where c is a String as shown below

    private void assignmentButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.Act ionEvent evt) {

    try
    {
    BufferedReader cla = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(assignment));
    String c;

    //read each line from a file

    while ((c = ass.readLine()) != null) {

    // THIS IS THE ADD C I USED
    titlesList.add(c);

    }
    cla.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }

    It is like Swing does not support add() method, PLEASE I NEED A CODE THAT WILL REPLACE titlesList.add(c); IN sWING SUCH THAT WHEN I CLICK ASSIGNMENT BUTTON, THE .txt THAT HAS ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS WILL BE DISPLAYED ON A jList.
    THANK YOU.

    Read the API for JList and follow the link to the Swing tutorial on How to Use Lists where you will find a working example of adding and removing items from the JList at runtime.
