Swing component to display String[]

[Steve]

Is there any built-in Java GUI components that will display the contents of
a String array? I'm simply looking to display a vertical list, I'm not
looking for any user interaction with this list.

You could use an array of Labels or put your array in a TextArea.

I think you want a JList, probably one which you've set read-only to prevent
the user interaction. You'll probably want to wrap the JList in a
JScrollpane so that the user can see all of the data without using up a lot
of space on your GUI.

The Java Tutorial explains how to do all of this and is well worth having.

A JTable is the usual solution. You could use an array of JLabels in
a JScrollPane. You could use a JTextArea with one String per line.
If you want to play games with fonts and colours, you could use a
Canvas/JPanel and drawString
