    protected Dimension getPreferredInnerVertical() {
        Dimension vertDim = (Dimension)DefaultLookup.get(progressBar, this,
            "ProgressBar.vertictalSize");
        if (vertDim == null) {
            vertDim = new Dimension(12, 146);
        }
        return vertDim;
    }

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
   public void testIt() throws Exception
   {
      UIManager.put( "ProgressBar.verticalSize", new Dimension( 40, 200 ) );
      JProgressBar pb = new JProgressBar( 0, 100 );
      pb.setIndeterminate( true );
      pb.setStringPainted( true );
      pb.setOrientation( JProgressBar.VERTICAL );
      System.out.println(pb.getPreferredSize());
      
      FormLayout layout = new FormLayout( "1dlu:g, p, 1dlu:g", "1dlu:g, p, 1dlu:g" );
      PanelBuilder builder = new PanelBuilder( layout );
      CellConstraints cc = new CellConstraints();
      builder.add( pb, cc.xy( 2, 2 ) );
      JPanel p = builder.getPanel();

      JFrame f = new JFrame();
      f.getContentPane()
            .add( p );
      f.pack();
      f.setVisible( true );
