Answer 1

    JMenuItem item1 = new JMenuItem("Item 1");
    JMenuItem item2 = new JMenuItem("Item ________ 2");
    JMenuItem item3 = new JMenuItem("Item 3");

    item1.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
    item3.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);

It works for me. The problem might be in length of items - they are the same thus right alignment is not visible.
