Working with Component Alignments

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.ruponent; import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import javax.swing.BoxLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class AlignX {

 private static Container makeIt(String labelChar, float alignment) {
   JPanel container = new JPanel();
   BoxLayout layout = new BoxLayout(container, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
   container.setLayout(layout);
   for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
     String label = makeLabel(labelChar, i * 2);
     JButton button = new JButton(label);
     button.setAlignmentX(alignment);
     container.add(button);
   }
   return container;
 }
 private static String makeLabel(String s, int length) {
   StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer(length);
   for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
     buff.append(s);
   }
   return buff.toString();
 }
 public static void main(String args[]) {
   JFrame frame = new JFrame("X Alignment");
   Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
   Container panel1 = makeIt("R", Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
   Container panel2 = makeIt("C", Component.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);

   contentPane.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
   contentPane.add(panel1);
   contentPane.add(panel2);
   contentPane.add(panel3);
   frame.pack();
   frame.show();
