Willy:

You need to take it easy man, old guys like us could have a stroke if we
get too wound up.  I'll agree that some of the answers you get on this
news group in particular are less than helpful.  I also agree with the
helpers that get tired of people not posting workable pieces of code
that demonstrate their problems (not always easy to do) or bothering to
read the manual.  Sometimes though the manual isn't very clear and it is
also sometimes very hard to describe a problem.

As to your problem.  Your code makes no sense.  That's why I posted the
piece of the FM that shows how to control horizontal alignment in a
JLabel.  Since that is all you asked, I didn't go into any details of
layout which is probably where your problem is if
JLabel("string",JLabel.CENTER) doesn't fix it.  If that doesn't fix it,
please post a small compilable class that demonstrates your problem and
attempt to better describe what isn't working the way you want it to.
As an example of that, take a look at mine below that shows horizontal
alignment of the text in a JLabel.

BTW, I don't care if you top post.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class test4 extends JFrame {
    public test4() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        Container cp = getContentPane();
        cp.setLayout(new GridLayout(4,1));

        JLabel l = new JLabel("Test None");
        cp.add(l);

        l = new JLabel("Test Left",JLabel.LEFT);
        cp.add(l);

        l = new JLabel("Test Right",JLabel.RIGHT);
        cp.add(l);

        l = new JLabel("Test Center",JLabel.CENTER);
        cp.add(l);

        pack();
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new test4();
    }
}
