Implementing a JScrollPane to Scroll through a list of JLabels and JButtons

I am a student making a scatterplot program that uses user-made datasets. Each dataset is a collection of entries, with a Name, X value, Y value, and Subset (string). I want to make a JFrame scroll window where the user can scroll through a list of sorted entries to delete and possibly edit them, i have attached a basic illisturation to help explain what im looking to create. My Question is how would i go about doing this? Should i use some kind of container to house rectanglular data panes that i create? My UI experience is fairly limited as i am just a student so appologies if i dont understandenter image description here

I would use a JTable. It is a Swing component designed to display data in a row/column format. A JTable supports editing of the data and rows of data can easily be removed from the table when you use the DefaultTableModel.

Check out the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Tables for more information and working examples to get you started.
