Applying a ListCellRenderer to individual cells on a JList


Is it possible to apply a listcellrenderer to purely one cell in a jlist? My code currently works fine in applying the renderer, but I would like to set a different dynamic variable for each entry. Apologies if this is a little vague..

So to sum up - I want to apply listcellrenderer to only one cell in a list, how would I do this?

    No, all cells would have to share the same renderer. That's how renderers work.

    This can be done. The renderer can change how it renders the cell depending on the state of the data that it's supposed to render.

    It's always better if you explain more and show code.

    Again have the renderer's behavior depend on the value held by the cell. For a more detailed answer, consider creating and posting an sscce and explaining more (e.g., render differently how?).
