JDialog - Add and arrange buttons

I have this code where I add 9 buttons, but I want them to appear in 3 different lanes (3 buttons for each row) but I do not know how to, any suggestions?

...

JPanel buttonPane = new JPanel();

//JButton1
JButton jButton1 = new JButton("OK");
jButton1.setText("Package 1");
jButton1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        jButton1ActionPerformed(evt);
    }
});
buttonPane.add(jButton1);

//JButton2
JButton jButton2 = new JButton("OK");
jButton2.setText("Package 2");
jButton2.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        jButton2ActionPerformed(evt);
    }
});
buttonPane.add(jButton2);

//JButton3

 public class ButtonGrid 
 {
     JPanel buttonPane = new JPanel();
     public ButtonGrid() 
     {
         buttonPane .setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("1"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("2"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("3"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("4"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("5"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("6"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("7"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("8"));
         buttonPane.add(new Button("9"));
     }

You need to use a GridLayout layout manager.

For Example:

buttonPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(rows, cols));
