    You add your JLabel to jPanel1, which uses a GroupLayout to display its components. The GroupLayout needs to know where each component must be placed in its vertical and horizontal group, and it doesn’t know where to put your new label, since you didn’t tell.

    I very much doubt that your end goal is to add a new label to your GUI each time the selection changes. You should probably add a unique label with a default text when the GUI is initialized, and change the text of this label when the selection changes.
