Scrolling a JPanel containing smaller panels

I have a JPanel to which smaller JPanels will be added,

I want it to be scrollable, I tried adding it to a JScrollPane but noting happens,

the problem also is that I don't know how many small panels will I add, the number is incrementing (It's a real time application, so with any event a new panel will be added)

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import java.awt.Color;

import java.awt.Container;

import java.awt.Dimension;

import java.awt.GridLayout;

import javax.swing.BoxLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JLabel;

import javax.swing.JPanel;

import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

import javax.swing.JViewport;

import javax.swing.border.LineBorder;

publicclass TestPanels{

publicstaticvoid main(String[]args)

{

JPanel container =new JPanel();

container.setAutoscrolls(true);

container.setLayout(null);

/*JLabel textLabel_1 = new JLabel("TEST SCROLLING");

textLabel_1.setBounds(10,10,90,15);

JLabel textLabel_2 = new JLabel("TEST SCROLLING");

textLabel_2.setBounds(10,10,90,15);*/

JPanel[] containers =new JPanel[10];

JLabel[] labels =new JLabel[10];

for(int i=0;i<10;i++)

{

containers[i] =new JPanel();

containers[i].setBounds(10,10+(50*i),300, 50);

containers[i].setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLUE));

labels[i] =new JLabel("TEST SCROLLING");

labels[i].setBounds(0,0,90,15);

containers[i].add(labels[i]);

container.add(containers[i]);

}

/*JPanel panel_1 = new JPanel();

panel_1.add(textLabel_1);

panel_1.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLUE));

container.add(panel_1);

JPanel panel_2 = new JPanel();

panel_2.add(textLabel_2);

container.add(panel_2);*/

JScrollPane pane =new JScrollPane(container);

pane.setAutoscrolls(true);

pane.setSize(100,50);

/*JViewport view = new JViewport();

view.setView(container);

view.setViewSize(new Dimension(50,50));

pane.setViewportView(view);

pane.setBounds(20,20,200,200);*/

JPanel temp =new JPanel();

temp.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

temp.add(pane,BorderLayout.CENTER);

temp.setSize(50,20);

JFrame test =new JFrame("Test");

test.setBounds(10,10,400,500);

test.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

test.add(temp);

test.setVisible(true);

}

}

So i need to figure out how to scroll this "container" panel,

Rami.
