This is quite trivial using C and Motif - just set the list's
XmNvisibleItemCount resource. How do I do this for a JList such that
if I change the font later the list resizes to still displays five
items?

The docs are your friend. Take a look at JList.setVisibleRowCount().

Interesting - I had made a local copy of the javadocs (I often work
disconnected from the internet), and there is no such method listed in
my copy!

Not sure where I got my copy - I've had it for several years.

I'm pretty sure it dates to 1.3 or earlier.

Indicating that Fred's copy must date back even earlier, perhaps to 1.1 before
Swing was part of Java. Fred, you really do need to stay current. There've been
a Nawful lot of changes since 1.1.
