JScrollPane with scroll bar to left

I need to place a scroll bar to the left of the contents in my JScrollPane. Can it be done without a separate JScrollBar component? Perhaps simply by setting some alignment?

Accepted answer gade my GridBagLayout panel inability to stretch horizontally (and it seems there is more to it with components' preferred size bug #5727254)

I found solution for this:

leftPanelScroll.setRowHeaderView(leftPanelScroll.getVerticalScrollBar());

I hope it will help yet another poor soul.

I tried changing the alignment of the track div from 'right' to 'left' in the css class .jspVerticalBar. seems to work.

.jspVerticalBar
{
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 16px;
    height: 100%;
    background: red;
}

Using trial and error I found that

JScrollPane.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

worked like a charm.
