Expand JList row height depending on content

Question

I have a simple problem which totally drives me crazy.

I have a JList, and would like its cells to expand depending on their content, which is text of variable lengt

Answer 1

Not sure if there is an elegant way. One way that I know works is as follows : In getListCellRendererComponent()

• Use JLabel for the renderer
• Convert the text in question to HTML and use some logic to insert
in to the text where desired.
• Then set the text as text for the JLabel component and return.
