I have a JScrollPane that contains a vertical Box. I'm inserting new JPanel's at the top of Box. If I use the scrollbar to scroll down I'd like for the current view to remain where I scrolled down to. For example, if I have 50 panels in the box and use the scrollbar to view panel 20, I'd like the view to remain on box 20 even though other boxes are added on top. Additionally, if I use the scrollbar to scroll back up to the top I'd like the view to display new panels as they are added. Any idea how to do this?

BTW, it isn't necessary to use a JScrollPane or a Box. The example code is just to help explain what I am trying to do.

Example code:
