Create an ImageIcon from the resized BufferedImage. You do not have to set the preferred size of the JLabel. Once you’ve scaled the image to the size you want, the … Read more
The following constructor, JLabel(String, int), allow you to specify the horizontal alignment of the label. JLabel label = new JLabel(“The Label”, SwingConstants.CENTER);
This can be done in two ways. JLabel Horizontal Alignment You can use the JLabel constructor: JLabel(String text, int horizontalAlignment) To align to the right: JLabel label = new JLabel(“Telephone”, SwingConstants.RIGHT); JLabel also has setHorizontalAlignment: label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT); This assumes the component takes up the whole width in the container. Using Layout A different approach is to … Read more
A width can be set for the body using HTML styles (CSS). This in turn will determine the number of lines to render and, from that, the preferred height of the label. Setting the width in CSS avoids the need to compute where line breaks should occur in (or the best size of) the label. … Read more

label = new JLabel(“A label”); label.setFont(new Font(“Serif”, Font.PLAIN, 14)); taken from How to Use HTML in Swing Components
You can do it by putting HTML in the code, so: JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setLayout(new GridLayout()); JLabel label = new JLabel(“<html>First line<br>Second line</html>”); frame.add(label); frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true);
You can do this using a JLabel, but an alternative would be to style a JButton. That way, you don’t have to worry about accessibility and can just fire events using an ActionListener. public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException { final URI uri = new URI(“http://java.sun.com”); class OpenUrlAction implements ActionListener { @Override public void … Read more
Surround the string with <html></html> and break the lines with <br/>. JLabel l = new JLabel(“<html>Hello World!<br/>blahblahblah</html>”, SwingConstants.CENTER);
