Yes, it is. You could use a JPanel with two JLabels (one for the icon,
one for the text) and some layout that would put the icon label first
(left or right) and then the text label (with horizontalAlignment CENTER)
into the remaining space (or really centered).

In this simple case, one could also use a single JLabel and subclass
paint component to paint the extra icon.
