Add several times a component

Question

I want to add many component on a JPanel. Many components have same text. For moment, I am adding all components with a For and the good text. I would like to create a fixed number of component with text I want, and add only these components. But I don't know if I can add a component several times.
Can you help me?

Answer 1

JLabel []labs = new JLabel[5];
myConstructor(){ // or init() for an applet JApplet
String str = "Same label";
JPanel pan = new JPanel();
   for(int j=0; j<labs.length; j++){
      labs[j]=new JLabel(str);
      pan.add(labs[j]);
OR
for(int j=0; j<numberOfLabels -1; j++) pan.add(new JLabel("same string") );
