JLabel Array?

[serfster]

I just started learning Java! I am trying to create an array of JLabels. Is this possible? I cannot seem to get the code right. I plan to have them all display the same icon.

I tried this code to declare the array, but it is most certainly incorrect:

Code:

static JLabel[] labelname = new JLabel [20] (imageIconHere);

Help?

Code:

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imagePath);
// allocate array for 20 labels
JLabel[] labels = new JLabel[20];
// all elements of this array are null, not instantiated
// initialize the array by instantiating the elements
for(int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
    labels[i] = new JLabel(icon);
}
// labels are ready to go...
