jcombobox

I am looking for code that will add favorites / MRU type behavior to a JComboBox.

I could code this myself, but it sure seems like someone else has probably already done it.

I found the following (which looks exactly like what I want, but the source code is nowhere near complete): http://java.sys-con.com/node/36658

Any suggestions? I need to keep this relatively light, so I'd prefer to not use a component that's part of a monolithic widget library, and open source is preferred.
