How to implement checkbox list java

Question

Probably a noob question, but im new to java. I have a need for a checkbox list which I found is not supported in swing, but I found this custom control here

The code is expecting a list of JCheckBox objects - so this works

CheckBoxList cbList = new CheckBoxList();  // the class you have
JCheckBox check1 = new JCheckBox("One");
JCheckBox check2 = new JCheckBox("two");
JCheckBox[] myList = { check1, check2};    list of checkbox object
cbList.setListData(myList);   // set the list data for the object

Small Swing program using your class below

 util;

import javax.swing.*;

public class HelloWorldSwing {
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
    //Create and set up the window.
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    CheckBoxList cbList = new CheckBoxList();
    JCheckBox check1 = new JCheckBox("One");
    JCheckBox check2 = new JCheckBox("two");
    JCheckBox[] myList = { check1, check2};
    cbList.setListData(myList);
    frame.getContentPane().add(cbList);

    //Display the window.
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
    //creating and showing this application's GUI.
    javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            createAndShowGUI();
        }
    });
}

}
