JCheckBox and identation of sub-elements

Question

I wonder how I can layout a list of checkboxes with sub elements, like a list of checkboxes again (see my ASCII art figure). The sub elements should be indented like the label of the checkbox above.
I can't use a static value for this indentation, since the size of the icon depends on the L'n'F. On the other side I don't want to loose the connection between the label and the checkbox (means I want to select the checkbox by clicking on the label).
Any suggestions?
o First choice
   o Sub choice 1
   o Sub choice 2
o Second choiceRegards,
Leif

The arrangement is indeed fixed. But as I create the checkbox with the following code, I don't know, where the icon ends and where the label starts.
new JCheckBox("Description")
In your example your don't use an icon at all. But I assume the icons vary with each checkbox, do they?

How do you apply horizontal glue when the components are added in BoxLayout.Y_AXIS? Or do you mean to add a panel for each checkbox?I meant to add a Panel for each JCheckBox. But upon further thought, the Box.createGlue() is an unnecessary step. Just use the X alignment discussed in the BoxLayout [features |http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/box.html#features] section of the tutorial.
