Set size of JList withOUT JScrollpane

[webIntern]

Can someone tell me how I can set the size and location of a JList without JScrollpane on a Contentpane w/BorderLayout?

I've tried setBounds, setMaximumSize, setPreferredSize, setMinimumSize...but the lists don't appear to be the size I specify.

Max/Min/PreferredSize are ignored by many layouts. You need to choose a layout or set the layout to null and use x/y coordinates.

Read this tutorial on Layouts from Sun.
