  // Display an icon and a string for each object in the list.
class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
     final static ImageIcon longIcon = new ImageIcon("long.gif");
     final static ImageIcon shortIcon = new ImageIcon("short.gif");
     // This is the only method defined by ListCellRenderer.
     // We just reconfigure the JLabel each time we're called.
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
       JList list,
       Object value,            // value to display
       int index,               // cell index
       boolean isSelected,      // is the cell selected
       boolean cellHasFocus)    // the list and the cell have the focus
         String s = value.toString();
         setText(s);
         setIcon((s.length() > 10) ? longIcon : shortIcon);
           if (isSelected) {
             setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
            setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
         else {
            setBackground(list.getBackground());
            setForeground(list.getForeground());
        setEnabled(list.isEnabled());
        setFont(list.getFont());
         return this;
String[] data = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};
JList dataList = new JList(data);
dataList.setCellRenderer(new MyCellRenderer());
