Centering Text within JLabel

843805Apr 24 2006 — edited Apr 25 2006

I am trying to figure out a way to center the text within a JLabel. I trying to set a specific size of the label, and then center the text in the very middle (horizontally) of that label. I have tried many different methods from this forum and other places on Google, but none of them have had any effect. For example:

label = new JLabel ("<html>blah, blah, blah, blahblah, blah...</html>");  
                                                     // HTML tags make the lines wrap.
		
		label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
		label.setPreferredSize (new Dimension (84, 48));

The text remains aligned left within the label. Is there a way to get it to center within the label?
