You should take a look at Default List Models

You can create a DLM and share it's contents between other DLM's. You could start to go about doing it by adding something like this in your first class

DefaultListModel dlm = new DefaultListModel();
JList list1 = new JList(dlm);

You could then add the default elements to the DLM and create a function in your other class that assigns that DLM to your other JList

public static void setDLM(DefaultListModel dlm)
{
    list2.setModel(dlm);
}

You should then static import the setDLM() method, and execute the following in your buttons ActionListener

DefaultListModel<String> dlm2 = new DefaultListModel<>();

for(String item : list1.getSelectedValuesList())
{
   dlm2.addElement(item);
}

setDLM(dlm2);
