It's been awhile since I used Swing, and I ran into an issue. I wanted to 
have a pulldown text choice widget using a JComboBox with the following 
code:

  String[] list = {"one", "two", "three"};
  JComboBox companyName = new JComboBox(list);
  companyName.setEditable(true);
  rootPane.add(companyName);

However, the pulldown menu does not appear when the arrow is pressed. What 
am I missing?

Thanks.
