Code Explanation

final CheckBoxBuilder checkBoxBuilder = new CheckBoxBuilder();

Constructs a new CheckBoxBuilder. You can view the documentation here.

You can reuse the builder, so you won't need to create a new CheckBoxBuilder every time you want to create a new check box.

---

checkBoxBuilder.setColumnIndex(10);
checkBoxBuilder.setRowIndex(10);

This tells the builder to place the check box at position (10x, 10y).

---

checkBoxBuilder.setText("Click Me");

This sets the text on the check box, so this check box will display "Click Me".

---

panel.addComponents(checkBoxBuilder.build());

This builds the check box and adds it to the panel.
