JDK-4499556 - Use arbitrary (J)Components as JTabbedPane tab labels.
Description

Name: dbT83986			Date: 03/13/99


It would be nice to be able to align the tabs of a JTabbedPane.

Right now it is possible to set the orientation of the tabs,
but there is no way to specify that I want the tabs aligned on
the right/bottom side or the center instead of the left/top side.

I admit this is minor, but a JTabbedPane with tabs placed on the 
left or right would look better if the tab labels could be left 
or right justified.

In BasicTabbedPaneUI.layoutLabel(), SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel()
is called with a hard coded parameter of SwingUtilities.CENTER for the 
horizontal text alignment.  This would be easy to convert into a property.

EVALUATION There seems to be two separate requests in this rfe: 1) In addition to allowing specification of tab placement (top/left/bottom/right), also allow specification of alignment within that placement. This is already implemented via the componentOrientation property. To align tabs to right, try: tabbedpane.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT); 2) The second requests seems to be requesting the ability to specify the alignment of the text within EACH tab, which I agree is a valid request. amy.fowler@Eng 2000-03-15 Since part one is solved via setComponentOrientation I am closing this bug as a duplicate of 4499556. Please look there for further information. ###@###.### 2001-11-13
