Answer 1

Just as you always do, except that you have to call:

panel.revalidate();

when you are done, since the container is already realized.

Answer 2

Use an ActionListener , you can use an anonymous class like this:

JPanel myJPanel = new JPanel();

...

b = new Button("Add Component");
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        JLabel someLabel = new JLabel("Some new Label");
        myJPanel.add(someLabel);
        myJPanel.revalidate();
    }
});
