rearrangable JList

How might one go about implementing drag-n-drop rearrangablity for a
JList? Or does the API provide for this and I'm just not seeing it?

Thanks.

The same was as for a List (TextArea, JPanel..).

Or rather, not in a way that it is
possible to simply 'turn it on'.

The DnD API was rather daunting for me
when I first encountered it, and it
seems to take a lot of lines of code
to get D'n'D working on a single
component.

I have a few apps. that use it, but none
that is well suited to being a simple
example of the DnD API.
