Sounds/looks more like you want to use a JTable instead of a JList. You can then remove the the cell borders to make it appear more like a list with headers using table.setShowGrid(false); https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3167112/remove-cells-border-in-a-jtable

Have you tried building each string for the list inserting a \t or 2 between each field? name+"\t"+firstname+"\t"+email

You'll need to use a monospace font along with String.format(). https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28243788/how-do-i-format-text-within-a-jlist https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8637181/java-formating-strings-in-jlist But, you should really consider using JTable instead. I think you'll find it easier once you understand how to use it IMO.

I want to use JList. There's no method named padding to use for that?
