JScrollPane words wrap

I have a problem. In the JScrollPane I use inheritor of the JPanel as viewPort. The inheritor can contain labels, radio buttons, check boxes and other elements (depending on the implementation). In the JScrollPane set HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER. It is necessary that contents in the inheritor of the JPanel scrolling in the vertical and horizontal words wrap. When displaying long texts in the labels (special in html tags) there is no word wrap, despite HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER. If don't use JScrollPane (inheritor of the JPanel has concrete size) words to be wrapped, but I need a vertical scrolling.

Tried set listeners for resize JScrollPane and set necessary size for internal JPanel. Did not work. Set listeners for resize internal JPanel yet. After setting the width is happening another change back to (obviously of great importance).

How can I solve this problem? Requires scrolling in the vertical and horizontal words wrap. Thanks in advance. Sorry, for my English).

Example (bad, after is better)

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.ScrollPaneConstants;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;

public class Test extends JFrame
{

    private JPanel contentPane;

    /**
     * Launch the application.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                try
                {
                    Test frame = new Test();


                    JScrollPane scrollPane =  new JScrollPane();
                    scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
                    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
                    panel.add(new JLabel("<html>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</html>"));
                    scrollPane.setViewportView(panel);
                    frame.add(scrollPane);
                    frame.setVisible(true);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    /**
     * Create the frame.
     */
    public Test()
    {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
        contentPane = new JPanel();
        contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
        contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
        setContentPane(contentPane);
    }

}

Good example

Text area with scroll-bar

I think you need to implement the interface Scrollable. Actually JTextArea also implements Scrollable.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Rectangle;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.ScrollPaneConstants;
import javax.swing.Scrollable;
import javax.swing.border.EmptyBorder;

public class TestScrollLabel extends JFrame
{

private JPanel contentPane;

/**
 * Launch the application.
 */
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
    {
        public void run()
        {
            try
            {
                TestScrollLabel frame = new TestScrollLabel();
                JScrollPane scrollPane =  new JScrollPane();
                scrollPane.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
                JPanel panel = new MyPanel();
                //BorderLayout is a good choice here
                panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                panel.add(new JLabel("<html>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

                scrollPane.setViewportView(panel);
                frame.add(scrollPane);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
}

static class MyPanel extends JPanel implements Scrollable{

    @Override
    public Dimension getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() {

        return this.getPreferredSize();
    }

    @Override
    public int getScrollableUnitIncrement(Rectangle visibleRect,
            int orientation, int direction) {
        return 50;
    }

    @Override
    public int getScrollableBlockIncrement(Rectangle visibleRect,
            int orientation, int direction) {
        return 80;
    }

    /*
     * (non-Javadoc)
     * @see javax.swing.Scrollable#getScrollableTracksViewportWidth()
     */
    @Override
    public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportWidth() {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean getScrollableTracksViewportHeight() {
        return false;
    }

}

/**
 * Create the frame.
 */
public TestScrollLabel()
{
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
    contentPane = new JPanel();
    contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
    contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));
    setContentPane(contentPane);
}

JLabel has no word wrap functionality. You can simulate this effect by creating a JTextArea, making it read-only using setEditable(false) and then calling setWrapStyleWord(true) to enable word-wrapping.

I think you can also play around with setBorder() to make it look flatter and more like a plain label, but this may give different effects on different platforms depending on look and feel.
