            }
            cb=new JComboBox(s);
        }

Solution

The probable problem is that you are passing a List<String> reference to the JComboBox . One correct way to do this will be to convert the List<String> s to a String[] array and pass it to the constructor: JComboBox(E[] items)

 new JComboBox(s.toArray(new String[s.size()]));
