Hello,
little improvement-update, custom ListCellRenderer now checks whether object is a String only or a JLabel with an ImageImage. You can use it for both versions of JLists.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ImageTextList extends JFrame
     private static String[]text = new String[10];
     private static JLabel[]labels = new JLabel[text.length];
     private static ImageIcon[] icons = new ImageIcon[labels.length];
     static
          for(int i=0; i<text.length; i++)
               text[i]   = "Images " + (i+1);
               icons[i]  = new ImageIcon(     "../testproject/img/" + (i+1) + ".jpg");
               labels[i] = new JLabel(text, icons[i], JLabel.CENTER);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new ImageTextList();
     public ImageTextList()
          super("Image+Text in a JList");
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          //test with labels and text
          JList list = new JList(labels);
          list.setCellRenderer(new MyCellRenderer());
          getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(list));
          pack();
          setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          setVisible(true);
     class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer
          private JLabel label = null;
          // 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();
               ImageIcon icon = null;
               //checks whether the source is a label or another object(String only)
               if(value instanceof JLabel)
               {System.out.println("label");
                    label = (JLabel)value;
                    icon = (ImageIcon)label.getIcon();
                    s = label.getText();
               setText(s);
               setIcon(icon);
               if (isSelected)
                    setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
                    setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
               } else
                    setBackground(list.getBackground());
                    setForeground(list.getForeground());
               setEnabled(list.isEnabled());
               setFont(list.getFont());
               setOpaque(true);
               return this;
