How to wrap text in a JList

I have a JList but i dont want it to have a horizontal scroll bar, i want the text that doesnt fit to be wrapped onto the next line. Does anyone know the code that will wrap it? I know in a TextArea you can use ".setLineWrap(true);" to make it wrap but its different for JLists

Any help would be appreciated

Just use create a CellRenderer and return a TextArea instead of a Textfield (or whatever it is). Then setLineWrap(true).. should work i think. How does it not work?

Yea, it works for TextArea but im looking to wrap text in a JList, however it is different than a TextArea so the setLineWrap doesnt work for JLists, i was wondering if there was a line of code to wrap writing in a JList or if you have to do something else

Did you actually read and understand the recommendations that oliver watkins gave you or just gloss over it? He's talking about using a JTextArea as the cell renderer for a JList, and this as far as I know should work.
