Examine the two different constructions of JList  (and the subsequent Method calls)
within the "works" and "doesNotWork"  methods in the following code.  "doesNotWork"
method throws a java.lang.IllegalAccessException.

import java.lang.reflect.*;
import com.sun.java.swing.*;

public class ReflectionBug {
    public static String[] data = {"1", "2", "3"};

	public static void works()
			throws Exception {
//======== 1st Construction =============
        DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
        for (int inx = 0; inx < data.length; inx++) {
            listModel.addElement(data[inx]);
        }
        JList lst = new JList(listModel);
//===================================
        System.out.println("list model class name = " + listModel.getClass().getName());

        Method m = listModel.getClass().getMethod("getSize", null);
        System.out.println("Size of the model = " + m.invoke(listModel, null));
	}

	public static void doesNotWork()
			throws Exception {
//========= 2nd Construction ===========
        JList lst = new JList(data);
        ListModel listModel = lst.getModel();
//==================================
        System.out.println("list model class name = " + listModel.getClass().getName());
        Method m = listModel.getClass().getMethod("getSize", null);
        System.out.println("Size of the model = " + m.invoke(listModel, null));
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			works();
		} catch (Exception ew) {
			System.out.println("works failed");
			ew.printStackTrace();
		}

		try {
			doesNotWork();
		} catch (Exception enw) {
			System.out.println("doesNotWork failed");
			enw.printStackTrace();
		}

    }
}
