Create JComboBox Model From Enum 1

I was looking for an easy way to populate a combo box with strings taken from an enumeration, and also to be able to pull out Enum objects from the combo box. After some searching, I found EnumComboBoxModel on the JDesktop website, but was not able to find any code.

Instead I came up with an easier solution that did not require me to define a new Model class, but instead uses javax.swing.DefaultComboBoxModel.

Sorry for the disorganization of the code, but hopefully you get the idea.
