A JLabel's Size
Something I'm curious about...
When I create a JLabel and place it into a JPanel/JDialog/some other
component, it always appears as the correct size (just large enough to
display the text + appropriate boundary around the text). But, when I
attempt to get that JLabel's size, it returns 0 width and 0 height
unless I specifically set the size of the JLabel.
Shouldn't the size have been set correctly upon the addition of the
text to the label? I'm confused on how this is working and why it's
working that way.
