Need a tab navigator with vertical tabs and horizontal text as the tab label?

Question

Hello,
I've found a component here http://hasseg.org/stuff/VerticalTabNavigator/VerticalTabNavigatorDemo.swf, but I need to display the labels horizontally. Any suggestions?

import javax.swing.*;
class VerticalScrollTextArea {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Runnable r = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                JTextArea ta = new JTextArea( 5, 20 );
                // the stuff you need
                ta.setLineWrap(true);
                // your GUI might not require this
                ta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
                JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(
                    ta,
                    JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,
                    JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
                sp.setPreferredSize( ta.getPreferredSize() );
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, sp);
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
