Hello, I am programming for my Robotics team, and I have to write code for a dashboard, including different camera feeds and setting up rows or columns for the different elements. I am quite new to Java, but I gotten through most of it except for the rows. I can't figure out how to add rows for each heading (element). Here is what I have so far, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.TextArea.*;

public class Dashboard1 extends JFrame {
	public Dashboard1() {
		super("Dashboard");
		setLookAndFeel();
		setSize(845,700);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		
		//toolbar buttons
		
		JTextArea row1 = new JTextArea("Speed/RPM");
			row1.setFocusable(false);
			
		JTextArea row2 = new JTextArea("Jag Temp");
			row2.setFocusable(false);
		JTextArea row3 = new JTextArea("U-Bar Status");
			row3.setFocusable(false);
		JTextArea row4 = new JTextArea("Autobalance");
			row4.setFocusable(false);
		JTextArea row5 = new JTextArea("Octanum Status");
			row5.setFocusable(false);
			
		JButton button6 = new JButton();
			button6.setText("Contour Feed");
			button6.setSize(350,300);
			button6.setLocation(465, 35);
			button6.setBackground(Color.black);
			button6.setVisible(true);
		JButton button7 = new JButton();
			button7.setText("Reg Vid Feed");
			button7.setSize(350,300);
			button7.setLocation(465, 350);
			button7.setVisible(true);
			button7.setBackground(Color.black);
			
		
		//build toolbar
		JToolBar bar = new JToolBar();
		JWindow window = new JWindow();
		bar.add(row1);
		bar.add(row2);
		bar.add(row3);
		bar.add(row4);
		bar.add(row5);
		add(button6);
		add(button7);
		
		//build text area
		JTextArea edit = new JTextArea(8, 40);
		JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(edit);
		
		//create Frame
		BorderLayout border = new BorderLayout();
		setLayout(border);
		add("North", bar);
		add("West", scroll);
		setVisible(true);
		setFocusable(false);
	}
	
	 private void setLookAndFeel() {
		 try {
			 UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
					 "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel"
			 );
		 } catch (Exception exc) {
			 //ignore error
		 }
	 }
	 
	 public static void main(String[] args) {
		 Dashboard1 frame = new Dashboard1();
	 }
}
