Populating a JList from a text file - Netbeans

[Ben1]

Hi all,
I'm just brushing up on my Java and have pretty much fallen at the first hurdle. So I'll start at the first problem and work from there.

What I have:
I've got my GUI designed in Netbeans all looking how I want it - Yay.
I have my text file with a list of single words.

What I need:
I want my GUI to read this list of words in the text file and display them in a JList I've created.

Then later, I have a field underneath where the user can enter more words and commit them too the list.

Can anyone help?

If more details are needed please let me know :-).

Thanks
Ben
