Horizontal Alignment of JList

Question

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to set a JList so that it is aligned in the center (horizontally) of a JPanel with a BorderLayout?
I am doing the following, but it does not seem to have any affect and the list is aligned on the left....
currentList = new JList(currentListModel);
currentList.setAlignmentX(JList.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
statusPane.add(currentList, BorderLayout.CENTER);
Thanks in advance.

not sure this is what you're after, but worth a look
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class TestGUI extends JFrame
  public static void main(String args[])
    new TestGUI();
  public TestGUI()
    super("TestGUI");
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setSize(300,400);
    Container frame = getContentPane();
    DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
    JList jl = new JList(listModel);
    JPanel jp = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
    JPanel upper = new JPanel();
    upper.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(frame.getWidth(),50));
    JPanel lower = new JPanel();
    lower.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(frame.getWidth(),50));
    jp.add(upper,BorderLayout.NORTH);
    jp.add(jl,BorderLayout.CENTER);
    jp.add(lower,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    frame.add(jp);
    setContentPane(frame);
    setVisible(true);
}
