# 1

Set the PreferredSize of the JLabel. This might however affect your layout depending on how things are laid out in your container.ICE

I don't the size. The text will be added in real-time.

Then you need to determine the width of the String content

JLabel label = new JLabel("Some text");

FontMetrics fm = label.getGraphics().getFontMetrics(label.getFont());

int strWidth = (int)fm.getStringBounds(label.getText(), g).getWidth();

label.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(strWidth + 10, 20) );

What is variable "g" in your code? It's not defined :(

Labels do not wrap.

If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",

see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,

that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",

see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,

so the posted code retains its original formatting.
