Ok I put this code in the jbutton section and I kept receiving an error that said "Illegal start of expression" I don't know enough to see anything wrong with this. Netbeans didn't say anything else.

Code:

    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
     //invoke this when add button fired
      private static final void addList(){
            dlm.addElement((Object)jTextField1); // add name
            dlm.addElement((Object)jTextField2); // add lastname
      }
    }

and this code I put at the very top of the code, their is more like the rest of the GUI, but I didn't paste it because its too long.

Code:

package editor;

import javax.swing.JList;
import javax.swing.*;
/**
 *
 * @author  Philip
 */

class MyMainClass{
      DefaultListModel dlm = new DefaultListModel();
      JList jlist = new JList( dlm );
}


public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    
    /** Creates new form NewJFrame */
    public NewJFrame() {
        initComponents();
    }
