If textual labels (rather than numeric) are desired on a JSlider, it should
be possible to control the horizontalAlignment of those labels. Look at
a piece of electronic equipment with sliders. The sliders are labeled as:

==========V======================
| | | | |
LOW MID HIGH

Not as:

==========V======================
| | | | |
       LOW MID HIGH

A significantly more inportant attribute of this type of labeling is that
it makes it reasonably easy to keep multiple sliders with text labels the
same size (where the length of the slider band *and* the bounding box are
the things desired to be kept equal). For example, if two instances of
the "label centered" slider above are placed in a grid layout (with the
names lenghted in one make it obvious), the following appears:


==========V======================
| | | | |
       LOW MID HIGH

==========V=================
| | | | |
       LOW_BAND MID HIGH_BAND

This isn't (probably) what the UI designer wanted. Probably, the following
would be prefered:

==========V======================
| | | | |
LOW MID HIGH

==========V======================
| | | | |
LOW_BAN MID HIGH_BAND

At least this UI designer want to be able to do this. 8^)

A simple way to do this is to respect the horizontalAlignment associated
with the JLabels in the labelTable.

It would have be nice if the original swing specification was done this
way. If the specification can be simply changed, please do so, but this
is a incompatable change and I suspect unacceptable from that standpoint.
Its an incompatable change because the default JLable horizontalAlignment
is LEFT and any non-default labelTables generated to date, probably have
this horizontalAlignment because it didn't matter. THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED
IN A COMPATIBLE WAY. SEE SUGGUSTED FIX.
