    Default [SOLVED] JList( Vector ) Display problem

    I have a JList initialized with a vector of objects. I want the JList to display a specific variable from each object in question, but so far it displays the class name and some seemingly random letters and numbers.

    i.e. Object@d4g3s3

    I've been reading all morning and can't find an example for how to make it present a variable from the object instead.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    What is the toString() method for the objects in the arraylist (I think I already know the answer to this)?

    Figured it out. Turns out JLists return the value of the objects toString Method. Just had to write one for my object.
