camikr I really wish you would stop flaming me, you seem to be suggesting that I never post an SSCCE, which I do. I didnt post one this time as it is a very simple question and I thought someone would be able to answer it without
anyway here is a SSCCE:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Alignment {
    private JFrame frame;
    private JList list;
    public void createGui() {
        list = new JList();
        list.setLayoutOrientation(JList.VERTICAL);
        JScrollPane listScroller = new JScrollPane(list);
        listScroller.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(120, 130));
        JPanel topLeftPanel = new JPanel();
        topLeftPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(topLeftPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
        JLabel addedSectionLabel = new JLabel("Added Sections:");
        addedSectionLabel.setAlignmentX(JComponent.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
        topLeftPanel.add(addedSectionLabel);
        topLeftPanel.add(Box.createGlue());
        topLeftPanel.add(listScroller);
        String[] sectionTypes = {"CHS", "RHS", "SHS"};
        JComboBox sectionTypesComboBox = new JComboBox(sectionTypes);
        topLeftPanel.add(sectionTypesComboBox);
        frame = new JFrame("Section Properties");
        frame.add(topLeftPanel);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Alignment().createGui();
}
