Subject: Bug: Borders around JLabel
Date: Tue, 4 Nov 1997 14:58:14 -0500

When I add a border (I tried the BevelBorder) to a JLabel, the preferred
size doesn't appear to take into account the border insets. Thus, I get
a label that is not tall enough and not long enough to hold the text on
the label.

The application below demonstrates the problem:


/* setenv JDKHOME /home/hmuller/ws/jdk12/build/solaris
 * ${JDKHOME}/bin/javac -classpath ${JDKHOME}/classes JListBorder.java
 * ${JDKHOME}/bin/java -classpath .:${JDKHOME}/classes JListBorder
 */

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.swing.*;
import java.awt.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.swing.border.*;


/**
 * Create a JList with a big red border. As of Swing0.6, the border
 * obscures the label text.
 */
public class JLabelBorder
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
label.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.red, 10));

WindowListener l = new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}
};
JFrame f = new JFrame("JListBorder");
f.addWindowListener(l);
f.getContentPane().add(label);
f.pack();
f.show();
    }
}
