Creating JComboBoxes at runtime

Question

I have a JComboBox with numbers like:

JComboBox test;
String[] a = new String[5];
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        a[i]=i+1 + "";
    }
test = new JComboBox(a);

Now I want to spawn the number selected of JComboBoxes:

test.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            String player =test.getSelectedItem();
            //Insert code here to create a variable number of Combo Boxes
        }
    });

The code looks messy. This is not what I am trying to do but it's a huge help for what I want.

Ignore the fact that numbers are as String within the code a parseInteger would do.

Thanks in advance.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        int i = combo1.getSelectedIndex();
        combo2.setModel(models[i]);
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("ComboTest");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(this);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
