      java version "1.3beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3beta-O)
      Java(TM) HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3beta-O-release, 1.3beta-O-release, interpr)

      Let's say I have an ArrayList (or any other Collection) and I want to create a
      JBomboBox from it, I'd either have to turn it into a Vector or an array of
      Objects. Vectors have too much bloat because they maintain backwards
      compatibility (which is the reason I use ArrayList) so this inherently limits
      Swing components. The optimal solution is instead of using constructors such as

      JComboBox(Vector v)

      use

      JComboBox(Collection C)

      At least then developers have a choice.
