JSlider with multiple knobbie things : Java

Hi folks, two questions..

Q1)
Whats my chances of getting several (up to 10) sliders onto the same
track with a single JSlider??????

Q2)
While I'm at it, do you think I could also do something so that the
track is not coloured blue behind the slider? ie... from slider-knob
back to the minimum end of the track. (NOT EVERYTHING)

The JSlider is sooooooooo very close to the component that I need yet
not close enough.

Why you ask?

I want to define some diameters of asparagus. This could be up to 10
different diameters ranging from about 3mm up to 50mm. And yes, I have
seen 50mm diameter asparagus!

The slider track would have a setting of 3 at the minimum end and 50 at
the maximum end. Double-click the slider knob would spawn another knob
on the same track thus spliting the 3mm to 50mm range yet again
producing for example.. say 3mm to 10mm to 20mm to 50mm definitions.

The reason I wish to do things this way is that I do not want people
missing a range under any circumstances!

Thanks...
