    Hi,

    I am using three JLabel's on a row using the BorderLayout. The texts of the
    JLabel's varies by size, which depends on user input. Unfortunaly, when the
    JLabel in the center of the BorderLayout (BorderLayout.CENTER) gets too
    large, it gets truncated and appended by three dots (...).

    It seems that running pack on JFrame after every JLabel.setText() does solve
    the problem, however, it isn't a really clean way because in that case the
    JLabel must be aware of the JFrame, which shouldn't be necessary.

    So to make a long story short, I would like a way so that the JFrame gets
    automatically resized when there is a shortage of space for the components,
    without having to call pack().

    I have tried to invalidate the JLabel, but that doesn't seem to do it.
    Neither changing the LayoutManager, which gives bizarre results.

    Thanks in advance,

    Viet Yen Nguyen
