Java: JComboBox addItem function is different from jdk8 and jdk7












1















On JDK-7 the addItem function from JComboBox accepts an Object as parameter but the addItem from JDK-8 accepts only String as parameter.



How can I use it with objects again? I need to insert a entire object, not only his name for example. I need to get all his attributes after the user choses the selected item from combobox
