By combining existing answers  this one and this one  the proper type safe way to add an ArrayList to a JComboBox is the following   private DefaultComboBoxModel lt YourClass gt  getComboBoxModel List lt YourClass gt  yourClassList        YourClass   comboBoxModel   yourClassList toArray new YourClass 0        return new DefaultComboBoxModel lt  gt  comboBoxModel       In your GUI code you set the entire list into your JComboBox as follows   DefaultComboBoxModel lt YourClass gt  comboBoxModel   getComboBoxModel yourClassList   comboBox setModel comboBoxModel

Use the toArray   method of the ArrayList class and pass it into the constructor of the JComboBox  See the JavaDoc and tutorial for more info

I believe you can create a new Vector using your ArrayList and pass that to the JCombobox Constructor   JComboBox lt String gt  combobox   new JComboBox lt String gt  new Vector lt String gt  myArrayList      my example is only strings though

I don t like the accepted answer or  fivetwentysix s comment regarding how to solve this  It gets at one method for doing this  but doesn t give the full solution to using toArray  You need to use toArray and give it an argument that s an array of the correct type and size so that you don t end up with an Object array  While an object array will work  I don t think it s best practice in a strongly typed language   String   array   arrayList toArray new String arrayList size      JComboBox comboBox   new JComboBox array     Alternatively  you can also maintain strong typing by just using a for loop   String   array   new String arrayList size     for int i   0  i  lt  array length  i          array i    arrayList get i     JComboBox comboBox   new JComboBox array
