Swing uses Model-View-Controller throughout. This means you get to separate code for the data from code for the display.
EventListModel is Glazed Lists'
      implementation of ListModel, which provides the
      data for a JList. The
      EventListModel gets all of its data from an
      EventList, which you supply when the
      EventListModel is constructed.
As you call add() and
      remove() on your EventList,
      the EventListModel updates automatically, and in
      turn your JList updates automatically! Similarly,
      EventTableModel will update your for a
      JTable and
      EventComboBoxModel takes care of
      JComboBox.
