Here's a static example ...
------------------------------------- 8< ------------------------------
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

/**

  * @author RedGrittyBrick

public class GrowGrid {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 new GrowGrid().createAndShowGUI();
             }
         });
     }

     private List<JTextField> fields = new ArrayList<JTextField>();

     private void createAndShowGUI() {

         String[] labels = {"Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie", "Delta"};

         JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());

         GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
         int column = 0;
         for (String label: labels) {
             constraints.gridx = column++;
             constraints.gridy = 0;
             panel.add(new JLabel(label), constraints);

             JTextField field = new JTextField(10);
             constraints.gridy = 1;
             panel.add(field, constraints);
             fields.add(field); // so we can later retrieve content
         }

         JFrame frame = new JFrame("GrowGrid");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         frame.add(panel);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
         frame.setVisible(true);
     }

}
