Swing: creating a JScrollPane that displays its component centered?

Question

If you create a JScrollPane that has a viewport larger than the JScrollPane\'s component, it displays that component in the upper left.

Is there any way to change this b

Answer 1

1. Put a JPanel into the scroll-pane
2. Set the layout of the panel to a GridBagLayout.
3. Put one component into the panel with no constraint. It will be centered.

This is the technique used in the Nested Layout Example, which places the red/orange image into the center of the parent.
