import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.Font; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.border.Border; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");       JLabel label;       label = new JLabel("This is demo label!",JLabel.RIGHT);       label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.TOP);       label.setFont(new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, 15));       label.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 100));       label.setForeground(new Color(120, 90, 40));       label.setBackground(new Color(100, 20, 70));       Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.ORANGE);       label.setBorder(border);       frame.add(label);       frame.setSize(600,300);       frame.setVisible(true);    } }
