I been learning about java for some time now and even bought several books to help me along. i am now in at the point in my journey that i want to learn about collections. i am able to use array lists in a very basic ways but i would like to understand how they work when use in conjunction with J radio buttons and other swing components. I been working, watching YouTube videos and reading books such as "Introduction to Java Programming- Comprehensive, 10E" and "Java in a Nutshell - (6th E) O'Reilly " but i have not found the answer to my problem. i can get the predefined information to display in the J text area by using the following code individually. "Person" calls a second class where I have my setters and getters.
private void LuisActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Person Luis = new Person("Luis ", "Peres\n", 1953);
Result.setText(String.valueOf(Luis));
}
But as you guys can see this is not using lists, instead i am writting each user individually in their individual action performed events. here is the code tha includes the collection/ list.

Essentially what i want is for the user to be able to click on the Jradio button and the predefined data to appear in the jtextarea. Here is an alternative method that i am working on.
class Storage{
Person Juan = new Person("Juan ", "Short\n", 2001);
Person Jose = new Person("Jose ", "White\n", 1980);
Person Josh = new Person("Josh ", "Brown\n", 1970);
Person Dahn = new Person("Dahn ", "Lee\n", 1977);
Person Terry = new Person("Terry ", "Black\n", 1983);
Person Clark = new Person("Clark ", "Pale\n", 1999);
Person Sasha = new Person("Sasha ", "Cole\n", 1989);
Person Paul = new Person("Paul ", "Chan\n", 1966);
Person Irlen = new Person("Irlen ", "Bry\n", 1981);
Person Mary = new Person("Mary ", "Williams\n", 1975);
Person Puttin = new Person("Puttin ", "Moreno\n", 1955);
Person James = new Person("James ", "Blanco\n", 1960);
Person Jack = new Person("Jack ", "Negro\n", 1963);
Person Mark = new Person("Mark ", "Torres\n", 1957);
Person Jane = new Person("Jane ", "Perez\n", 1995);
Person Sal = new Person("Sal ", "Salas\n", 1992);
Person Perry = new Person("Perry ", "Blah\n", 1973);
Person Charley = new Person("Charley ", "Nunca\n", 1996);
Person Anna = new Person("Anna ", "Cali\n", 2012);
Person Bruce = new Person("Bruce ", "Cola\n", 2009);
List<Person> ml = new ArrayList<>();
protected Storage (){
ml.add(Juan);
ml.add(Jose); // and so on..
But again I can't figure out how to connect my Jradio button the predefined information, so that when the user click on the radio button the information displays in the JtextArea.
