A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JComponent.html#setAlignmentX(float)

In the JavaDoc for JComponent, methods setAlignmentX and setAlignmentY, we have:

setAlignmentX:

"Sets the the vertical alignment."

setAlignmentY:

"Sets the the horizontal alignment."

Is this not the wrong way round?

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I believe setAlignmentX affects the horizontal, and setAlignmentY the vertical, contrary to the API doc.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JComponent.getAlignmentX() claims to set vertical alignment in the documentation. It actually sets the horizontal alignment. setAlignmentX, getAlignmentY and setAlignmentY are similarly wrong.
