In the below code, I have an instruction label and below it an input area with a label and a JTextField. I want whichever is smaller to be centered above or below the other.

The problem is that the Box.createHorizontalGlue() method call no longer appears to work.

You've made an incorrect assumption.

Excuse me?

How rude!

I have, of course, done nothing of the sort.

I also tried adding them to the workPanel at EAST and WEST without results.

You have failed

Excuse me?

Why won't the smaller item center itself? What has changed since previously?

It does center itself.

It doesn't.


label.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLUE)); // HP

Don't want a border.

label.setMaximumSize(label.getPreferredSize()); // HP

Shouldn't matter. I haven't needed this in similar situations previously. Though it's not behaving as in similar situations previously...

fieldPanel.add(mtFieldWP);
fieldPanel.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue()); // Has no effect.
extLabelWP.setDisplayedMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_E);
extLabelWP.setLabelFor(mtFieldWP);

By adding two dozen lines Paul could have made this into an SSCCE.

Who is Paul?
