Hi Sergey,

Yes, I saw those methods in DefaultListModel, but it had add method, which is 
why I have added "addAll" method there. In the case of DefaultComboBoxModel, 
the add method is "addElement", which is why I chose to rename the plural 
methods to "addElements", and "addElementsAt".
However, I'm ok to change the method names to addAll. 

Thanks,
Krishna

DefaultListModel also has getElementAt()/addElement()/removeElement()
etc. I can guess this is because it is a wrapper of Vector which has the same 
methods. But in jdk1.2(when Collection framework was added) some additional 
methods were added to DefaultListModel like
clear()/get()/set()/add() etc.
I don't urge to change the existing methods in DefaultComboBoxModel but it 
would be good to use one common name pattern for models which is used in 
Collection framework. Any thoughts?
