Calculating number of items in a list and building checkboxes off of that

Ok, as observed in my last question (Thanks to everyone for that), I have this code:

/**
     * This method initializes jScrollPane3
     *
     * @return javax.swing.JScrollPane
     */
    private JScrollPane getJScrollPane3() {
        if (jScrollPane3 == null) {
            jScrollPane3 = new JScrollPane();
            jScrollPane3.setViewportView(getJPaneCheckBox());
        }
        return jScrollPane3;
    }

   private JPanel getJPaneCheckBox() {
        JPanel jPanelCheckBox = new JPanel();  
        GridLayout checkbox = new GridLayout(1, 2);
        jPanelCheckBox.setLayout(checkbox);
        try {
            Set methods = GetTestMethods
            .findMethods(DeviceIdentification.class);
            System.out.println(methods.size());
            //these variables are defined private elsewhere in the class
            //For a set or list
            for (Iterator it = methods.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
                Object listElement = it.next();
                String element = listElement.toString();
                System.out.println(element);
                JCheckBox newCheckBox = new JCheckBox();
                newCheckBox.setName(element);
                System.out.println(newCheckBox.getName());
                jPanelCheckBox.add(newCheckBox);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            atelog.error(e);
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return(jPanelCheckBox);
    }


This prints the check boxes out like this:


X                                                                      X


in the middle of my pane.

The issue now is this:

I like how they are side by side, and not just one list down.

The issue now, is that I only have 2 checkboxes being built right now, but in the future I could have dozens. I'd like it to start at the top of the pane and not the middle and build the checkboxes with labels in this respect:

X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel

etc;

If there is an odd number it would look like this:

X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                               X theLabel
X theLabel                              


How would I program this logically? My knowledge of building layouts is so limited, any guidance you have would help me 10 fold.

Thank you,
