To populate the combo box you need to use the addItem() method on ComboBox

private String[] algorithm_name = {"Needleman & Wunsch (global alignment)","Smith & Waterman (local alignment)"};
JComboBox jc = new JComboBox(); 

// Then you can iterate over the array to populate the combobox
for (String name : algorithm_name) {
    jc.addItem(name);
}

See this example it will give you some idea.................

public class MainClass extends JPanel implements ItemListener {
  public MainClass() {
      JComboBox jc = new JComboBox(); 
      jc.addItem("France"); 
      jc.addItem("Germany"); 
      jc.addItem("Italy"); 
      jc.addItem("Japan"); 
      jc.addItemListener(this); 
      add(jc); 
  }

  public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie) {
      String s = (String)ie.getItem(); 
      System.out.println(s); 
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.getContentPane().add(new MainClass());

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(200, 200);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
