JList text color

Question

Is there a way to change the text color of a specific element on a JList?

like this:

one(Black)

two(Blue)

three(Black)

four(Blue)

five(Blue)

six(Black)

using a DefaultListModel and the data are coming from a DB...

Answer 1

The model only stores the data, not the color of the data.

You need to render the data differently for each cell. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Writing a Custom Renderer for more information and an example.
