Heavyweight object of an Icon and JLabel

Question

Hi there,
I would like to know how can I create a heavyweight object that has a JLabel and an Icon and then add it to a JFrame. this heavyweight object would be something like this
public class TestObject extends JPanel
..public TestObject( String LabelName )
....theLabel = new JLabel( LabelName );
....add( theIcon ); // I cant add the Icon here, because it's not a Component
....add( theLabel );
..private JLabel theLabel;
..private Icon theIcon = new ImageIcon( "littleIcon.gif" );
Thanks,
Andre

Answer 1

Using the following class I could draw a JLabel that has an ImageIcon, but it doesn't matter what the value of the horizontalAlignment ( LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT, LEADING or TRAILING ) the icon was always at the left side and the string at the right. Is there a way to put the Icon on the top and the String at the button of the Label?
public class TestObject extends JPanel
public TestObjectent( String LabelName )
theIcon = new ImageIcon( "littleIcon.gif" );
theLabel = new JLabel( LabelName theIcon, SwingConstants.TRAILING );
add( theLabel );
private Icon theIcon;
private JLabel theLabel;
Thanks,
Andre
