How to set size of Jlabel?

| This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you set the size of a
Jlabel? I am using NetBeans, and I have tried setting the maxsize,
minsize and preferredsize properties, but changing them doesn't seem
to do anything at all! Right now, my labels are way too big.
Also, how to I make it so that a Jlist box will have scroll bars if
there are too many items to be visible?
Thanks for any help!

You'll need to learn the basic of layoutmanagers.

Put it in a JScrollpane.

You should also read http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/
sometime, so you can answer these very basic questions yourself.

Well in my Gridlayout thing, there are only 4 properties, none of
which appear to change the size of the objects within. I really would
like an answer to this.
