advanced formatted text field input manipulation?

Question

First of all, I know I asked a similar question before but this one is different. I'm trying to make a calculator that makes the arithmetic mean of all the numbers that were inputted in the text fields that are editable. I have about 25 text fields however only 14-16 are editable at a time. The user has 3 jspinners to add or remove some editable text fields which are already in the program. My question is, how can you check which text fields are editable from those 25 and manipulate the data?

For moderation purposes, this question is different than the other. In the other question I was not specific at all, and it was different, so please leave this one open I need help.

Solve one problem at a time. Start with an working example. Change it to handle multiple fields, as shown below. Finding the average is now a simple change to update().

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.JFormattedTextField;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Adder extends JPanel {

    private static final int MAX = 3;

        new ArrayList<JFormattedTextField>();
    private final NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
    private final JFormattedTextField sum = new JFormattedTextField(format);

    public Adder() {
        this.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));
        for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {
            JFormattedTextField tf = init();
            fields.add(tf);
            this.add(tf);
        }
        sum.setHorizontalAlignment(JFormattedTextField.RIGHT);
        sum.setEditable(false);
        sum.setFocusable(false);
