How to align JLabel to the left of the JPanel?

Question

I want to align my JLabel to the left.

    String lText = \"mybook<         


        

Answer 1

You might wish to set the JLabel's horizontalAlignment property. One way is via its constructor. Try:

JLabel label = new JLabel(lText, SwingConstants.LEFT);

This can also be done via the expected setter method:

label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
