How to set Essbase member alias as level label for hierarchy

Question

Experts,
* I have imported my Essbase cube metadata and see my Essbase Member Aliases as Dimension Properties in the physical layer.
* when I view members of the levels in the physical layer I see them - as I expect - represented by the human readable alias names of the members.
* now drag&drop of the model into BMM layer - I notice the aliases (Dimension Properties in physical layer) are here represented as any other Logical Columns.
* drag&drop into the Presentation Layer and I can build my reports
Problem: in reports my hierarchies display using keys (from Essbase outline) and NOT the member aliases as would make sense.
When I drop the alias column next to the hierarchy column on the report, it does display the alias of the member in the current line - but how can I switch the hierarchy display itself to the alias???
thanks

Answer 1

1. When you post code, post a minimal example. Did we have to scroll through
all those bloody labels.
2. Can't say much for the quality of code NetBeans generates.
3. To answer your question (sorry, I don't have an autographed copy of the photo):
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        final JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container cp = f.getContentPane();
        cp.setBackground(new Color(0xff, 0xff, 0xee));
        cp.add(new JLabel("set the color on the content pane, not the frame"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        URL url = new URL("http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot-small.jpg");
        cp.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url)));
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
}
