How to center the text in a JLabel?
despite many tries I can't get the result that I would like to see - text centered within the JLabel and the JLabel somewhat centered in the BorderLayout. I said "somewhat" because there should be also another label "status" in the bottom-right corner of the window. Here the bit of code responsible for that: setLayout(new BorderLayout()); JPanel area = new JPanel(); JLabel text = new JLabel( "<html>In early March, the city of Topeka," + " Kansas,<br>temporarily changed its name to Google..." + "<br><br>...in an attempt to capture a spot<br>" + "in Google's new broadband/fiber-optics project."
