Centering labels with MigLayout

I'm trying to center labels using MigLayout and I'm having a difficult time. Here's what I'd like the labels to look like:

I'd like to:

  1. Limit the number of labels to five per row and I think I can use wrap 5.
  2. Center the labels inside the JPanels

I have labeled sections on the main JPanel with subpanels, like this:

There's no problem with centering if there's only a single label because I do this:

myPanel.add(label, "align center, wrap");

Unfortunately, if I add more than one they just don't center. I've gone through the MigLayout Cheat Sheet but it's like going through an API without fully understanding how it all works and I haven't been able to find any good tutorials out there. I'd like to become proficient with MigLayout, so a good tutorial would probably do the trick.

I'd be grateful for your help.

you can make miglayout with center column constraint and you can add it by cell no.

JPanel panel = new JPanel(new MigLayout("","[center][center][center][center][center]","[]"));

JLabel label1 = new JLabel("label1");
JLabel label2 = new JLabel("label2");
JLabel label3 = new JLabel("label3");
JLabel label4 = new JLabel("label4");
JLabel label5 = new JLabel("label5");

panel.add(label1, "cell 0 0");
panel.add(label2, "cell 1 0");
panel.add(label3, "cell 2 0");
panel.add(label4, "cell 3 0");
panel.add(label5, "cell 4 0");
f.getContentPane().add(panel);

I am not exactly sure what you want but this is my guess:

panel.add(label1);
panel.add(label2);
panel.add(label3);
panel.add(label4);
panel.add(label5, "wrap");
panel.add(label6, "al 100%");
panel.add(label7, "align center");
panel.add(label8);

frame.pack();
