How to create JCheckBox for elements of an ArrayList

I have an array that fills in by the user. Then each element of this array will be a CheckBox. For example if the array has 6 elements, it must create 6 checkboxes.

This is how I tried to loop through the array and create the checkbox, but it only overwrite on one checkbox.

public static void main(String[] args) {    
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Options");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);  
    frame.setSize(300, 300);

    ArrayList<String> myArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
    myArrayList.add("checkbox 1"); 
    myArrayList.add("checkbox 2");
    myArrayList.add("checkbox 3");
    myArrayList.add("checkbox 4");
    myArrayList.add("checkbox 5");

    for(String element : myArrayList){
        JCheckBox box  = new JCheckBox(element);
        frame.add(box);
    }

    frame.setVisible(true);
}

It is important that I have the access to each single checkbox later, so I can specify for example if checkbox2 is selected, do this.

So is there any way to make these checkboxes dynamically according to the ArrayList's size?
