Thread: Progress bar

Hi, i have a really simple question.
Can someone tell me where to start when i want to add a progress bar. I have an arraylist of string. when i do a for:each loop, inside the loop i have a method that does something with each object

for (String ipString : ipAddress.arrListOfIpAddress) { 
 
           if (ipAddress.getHostReachable(ipString)) {
              modelIPAddressListModel.addElement(ipString + " is reachable");                             
           }
}

.How do i put in a progress bar that every time it get's the next item, the progress bar increments by one until it finishes and display's some kind of a message saying finished.

Update the progress bar during the loop and display the finish message outside of and after the loop.

I recommend the following page: JProgressBar (Java Platform SE 7 )
If you wish to update the JProgressBar, you should try "progressBarName.setValue(Number);" every time you finish a task. Example: The program loads all fonts, add 25% to the progress bar, etc. Good luck.
