How to clear a JList correctly.

Question

Hello,
I haven't found yet how to clear a JList whitout raising an exception.
I have defined a JList, that I initialize with a Vector. For example :
   JList mylist = new JList();
   Vector v =  new Vector(5);
   for (init i = 0; i<5; i++ )  v.add("Line " + i);
   mylist.setListData(v);
      .When the user needs to erase all lines, he has to click on a JButton. In the actionPerformed method, I'm doing the following
   Vector v = new  Vector();
   mylist.setListData(v);It works, but I got an ArrayOutBoundException. I tried many other things such as
v.clear();
mylist.setListData(v);
but I got the same exception. So I was obliged to embed my instructions in a
try-catch block:
   try
        Vector v = new  Vector();
        mylist.setListData(v);
  catch (Exception ex){}In fact , I do not like what I did , and I'm pretty sure it exists a much better way .
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
