##Examples

###Popups/Modals

You can use the JBPopupFactory to create a popup to interact with the user.

final JList list = new JBList(JBList.createDefaultListModel(modules.toArray()));
JBPopup popup = JBPopupFactory.getInstance()
    .createListPopupBuilder(list)
    .setTitle("Restart ghc-modi for module")
    .setItemChoosenCallback(makeModuleChoiceCallback(e, list))
    .createPopup();
popup.showCenteredInCurrentWindow(project);
