an array of the colors in java.awt.color

[praclarush]

Its been a while since i've writen a java program so I was wondering whats the best way to get an array of the colors in the java.awt.color class. So I can use it to populate a JList. All i'm asking for is a little help in getting started or pointed in the right direction.

Thanks Praclarush

Are you talking about the constant colors included in java.awt.Color, or all possible colors?

just the constant ones,

it looks like the best way would just be to take the time and type out each constant into your array. You can save some time by copy/pasting the "Color." portion...

Why not simply use reflection on the Color class then? e.g.

String name= ...
Color color= (Color)Color.class.getField(name).get();
 

You have to wrap that code snippet in a try ... catch block for obvious reasons.
