Add the buttons to a panel with suitable layout (e.g. GridLayout or FlowLayout). Add the panel to the scroll pane.

1) I'm not your 'dear'. 2) The stated problem is 'get more than one button into a scroll pane', so it **is** solved. 3) If you expect me to be able to solve the layout problem not knowing what layout was used, or what the intended affect is, you must think I'm some sort of magical wizard. I'm not. – Andrew Thompson Mar 08 '14 at 12:22
for natural scrolling to change intereg value in setUnitIncrement for derived JScrollBars from JScrollPane – mKorbel Mar 08 '14 at 12:47
