late4ever says = "u can't add more than 1 toolbar on top"
Did either of you bother to take the time to read the tutorial on "Using Layout Managers". A JToolBar is simply a component. Multiple components can be added to a container. By default the content pane uses a BorderLayout which only accepts 5 components (Center, North, South, East, West) which is why when you keep adding components to the same area you can only see the last one.
When you create a JPanel, by default it uses a FlowLayout. When you add components they get added to the right of the previous component, which was why I gave you the sample code.
I thought my previous answer was straight forward so I only included a piece of code. Here is a complete program you can run:
import javax.swing.*;
public class MultipleToolBars extends JFrame
     public MultipleToolBars(String strName)
          this.setTitle(strName);
          JPanel jp1 = new JPanel();
          JToolBar jtb1 = new JToolBar("tool1");
          JToolBar jtb2 = new JToolBar("tool2");
          JToolBar jtb3 = new JToolBar("tool3");
          JButton jb1 = new JButton("JB1");
          JButton jb2 = new JButton("JB2");
          JButton jb3 = new JButton("JB3");
          JButton jb4 = new JButton("TOOL1");
          JButton jb5 = new JButton("TOOL2");
          JButton jb6 = new JButton("TOOL3");
          JButton jb7 = new JButton("BUTTON1");
          JButton jb8 = new JButton("BUTTON1");
          JButton jb9 = new JButton("BUTTON2");
          jtb1.setFloatable(true);
          jtb2.setFloatable(true);
          jtb3.setFloatable(true);
          jtb1.add(jb1);
          jtb1.add(jb2);
          jtb1.add(jb3);
          jtb2.add(jb4);
          jtb2.add(jb5);
          jtb2.add(jb6);
          jtb3.add(jb7);
          jtb3.add(jb8);
          jtb3.add(jb9);
          jp1.add(jtb1);
          jp1.add(jtb2);
          jp1.add(jtb3);
          getContentPane().add(jp1);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          MultipleToolBars mtb = new MultipleToolBars("test");
          mtb.setSize(600, 75);
          mtb.setVisible( true );
