JList updating

[fatcodeguy]

Hi, this is the first time I use a JList and I'm having a bit of a problem. This is how I instantiate my JList

Vector names = new Vector();
JList namesList = new JList(names);

But when I make changes to the list, such as adding new elements to the vector, or changing names, it doesn't update the list.. how do I do this? Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

From my understanding of the Javadocs, a JList does not keep a reference to the data used to create it. A JList just copies the data from the Vector or ListModel to populate itself. To make actual changes to the JList you could update the Vector and then call JList.setListData().
