Forgive me if this seems presumptuous, but I have nothing more to go on.
I made a quick sample


See the red line around the image for a border JLabel. As you can see, the label has been changed to fill the entire area.
This is the code I used to create the sample
public class LayoutFrame extends JFrame {
public LayoutFrame() throws HeadlessException {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Image image = null;
URL url = getClass().getResource("/layout/issue78.jpg");
try {
image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
label.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.RED, 4));
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(label);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
} catch (InstantiationException ex) {
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
} catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
}
LayoutFrame frame = new LayoutFrame();
frame.setSize(200, 200);
frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
