Yes. But you don't provide sufficient code to see what mistake you are
making.

Here's an SSCCE that works 100% reliably for me so far.
(See http://sscce.org).

------------------------- 8< ---------------------------
public class TestJList implements ActionListener {

     public static void main(String[] args) {
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 new TestJList();
             }
         });
     }

     private DefaultListModel model;

     private JList list;

     private JTextField field;

     TestJList() {
         model = new DefaultListModel();
         model.addElement("Clinton");
         model.addElement("Bush");
         model.addElement("Obama");
         list = new JList(model);
         field = new JTextField(10);
         JButton button = new JButton("Add");
         button.addActionListener(this);

         Box box = new Box(BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
         box.add(field);
         box.add(button);
         box.add(new JScrollPane(list));

         JFrame f = new JFrame("Test JList");
         f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         f.add(box);
         f.pack();
         f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         f.setVisible(true);
     }

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
         String s = field.getText();
         if (s.length() > 0) {
             model.addElement(s);
             int index = model.size()-1;
             list.setSelectedIndex(index);
             list.ensureIndexIsVisible(index);
         }
         field.requestFocusInWindow();
         field.setText("");
     }

}

P.S. I believe that mixing AWT and Swing widgets in the same program can
be a recipe for trouble.
