grouplayout

Is there a way to iterate over a List of Components and add them to a ParallelGroup in Swing GroupLayout? It seems difficult because there is no method to get hold of the ParallelGroup. Here is the code generating a List of Components (in this case, JCheckBoxes). List<JCheckBox> listCustomiseJCB = new ArrayList<>(); for (int w = 0; w < initialCMTableColumns.size(); w++) { String heading = (String)initialCMTableColumns.get(w).getHeaderValue(); listCustomiseJCB.add(new JCheckBox(heading)); } The List is working, but how can I iterate over the List to insert each JCheckbox into a GroupLayout's

After almost 4 years in java programming I decided to learn how to write GUI classes by myself since until now I've always used NetBeans GUI Editor (I'm not particularly proud of it but it has worked pretty well avoiding me worry about the components layout). The thing is I'm following How to Use GroupLayout tutorial to learn about this layout manager that I find very powerful. Now I made a little example by my own and then try to do the same in Netbeans GUI Editor and I found some differences between both codes and I'd like to know if I'm missing something or NetBeans just adds useless code
