The "id" actually is the hashcode. What you are seeing is the return value of the toString method of the objects, which they probably inherited from java.lang.Object.
So one solution would be to override the toString method. Problem is that you might want to have a different representation for the same objects in other places.
A more flexible approach is to set a custom ListCellRenderer on the combobox.
