I am using 2 JComboBoxes

String arr1[] = {"text1", "text2", "text3"};
String arr2[] = {"text1", "text2", "text3"};

JComboBox box1 = new JComboBox(arr1);
JComboBox box2 = new JComboBox(arr2);

where I am looking for conditions like

if(text1 in box1 is selected)
only text2 and text3 is selectable/enabled in box2

To get the selected value from the JComboBox you use getSelectedItem:

String value = (String)box.getSelectedItem();

Now you can check if value equals to text1, if so, you can use removeItem to remove items from the other JComboBox.

You can add an action listener to box1 and control what is shown/enabled in box2

box1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
             // code to manipulate values in box2 depending upon value in `box1Value`
            String box1Value = txtFilename.getSelectedItem().toString();
            if(box1Value.equalsIgnoreCase("text1")){
                String arr2[] = { "text2", "text3"};
                new JComboBox(arr2);
            } else {
                // ..
            }
        }
    });
