Solution

You might start with How to Use Lists or this related example. The essential steps include these:

• Initialize a String[] with the data, as you have shown.

• Use the data to construct a JList, implicitly creating a ListModel.

• Add the JList to a JFrame.

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JList;

/** @see https://stackoverflow.com/a/5255930/230513 */
public class Test {

    private void display() {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Test");
        String[] data = {"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5"};
        f.add(new JList(data));
        f.pack();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Test()::display);
    }
}

Please explain and elaborate your question.

It appears that the GUI editor may be hindering your progress. It may be well to start with the simpler examples cited above.
