JLabel centered in a JPanel

[Barry Brashear]

How can position a JLabel containing text so that the text is in the middle of the JLabel and the JLabel is right in the middle of the JPanel?

Thanks.

The JLabel api has constructors that take an argument int horizontalAlignment and also a method setHorizontalAlignment.

The center section of a BorderLayout will center its child component. GridBagLayout will do the same with default GridBagConstraints.

Thanks. I would also like the size of the dialog to fit the size the text
in the JLabel. Any suggestion on that?

I would try calling the pack method on the dialog.
