using String value as variable

[Ralf]

Hi,
I've the following question: How can I use the content of a String as a variable
name? E.g. like this:

int foo=2;
String bar="foo";
System.out.println(reference_to_foo); // has to print the content of
foo (=2)

How can I realize this?
The idea behind is that I need to create some ComboBoxes in a Panel, but
the count of these Boxes
I don't know at compiling time. Therefore I have to create the Boxes at runtime,
and I wanted to try
it this way.
