Is it possible, using VE, to place a JList inside a ScollPane? I'm sure
one could hack the SDK to expose this, but I'm hesitant to get myself
enmeshed in yet more code. But I'd hope to finish setting this up as
visually as possible.

Yes, you should be able to do this, but there's not a combined palette
item like JTable on JScrollPane. Simply drop the JScrollPane first
(from the Swing Containers drawer) then the JList on top of that. It
might be easier to get the child relationship right if you drop the
JList onto the JScrollPane on the Java Beans Viewer.

Got it, thanks for the help.

It's worth noting that the combined object seems harder to manipulate
than the individual objects--it doesn't offer resize corners, and can't
be aligned.

The problems you're having with manipulating the combined object are
most likely occurring because you have the JList selected rather than
the JScrollPane. It's impossible to select the JScrollPane on the
canvas surface. You'll have to select the scroll pane on the Java Beans
Viewer, then perform the resize/align actions without losing the focus
on it on the canvas.
