Using a loop to create java jbuttons

I am working on a program where I have x amount of jbuttons to be created. x is stated in a text file, and each jbutton is associated with a number, which will be displayed on the jbutton. I am assuming the best way to do this would be with a loop, but I don't really understand how to do this. Can I append the jbutton name with the number the that is associated with the jbutton, so that each jbutton has a distinct name? Can anyone explain how to do this for me?

Probably the best way to do that would be to use an array (if you know how many before creating them) or a List.

Something like:

List<JButton> buttons = new ArrayList<JButton>();
while (haveMoreButtonsToCreate) {
  buttons.add(new JButton());
}
