JList set to ArrayList, show preset title?

Use a custom cell renderer for the list to format the view as required. Alternately you might define a toString() for the object, but the renderer is more versatile.

You need to supply ListCellRenderer capable of portraying your data the way you want it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
