How to move text within Jlabels to the right

Show all headers | View raw

I have two JLabels with different lenght of text. One JLabel is below the other. I'd like to get the two "colons" in them to line-up vertically.

I tried padding one with "space" characters, but that didn't line up perfectly. My guess is that certain characters have different widths.

(I tried the align vertical and horizontal properties, etc but they didn't work.)

Eg, In the below text of two JLabels, the addition of a space character didn't line up the two colons.

Label1     My First Name:
Label2         Last Name:

Thanks,
