JLabel Text Cutoff

Show all headers | View raw

Is there an easy way to show text on a JLabel cutoff from the left?
I've tried every method and parameter I can think of but when the text runs out of the control it just wants to cut it off from the right.
 sample:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;

public class TestLabel {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600,480));
        f.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 5, 5));
        String text = "too long text to fit in control";
        
        JLabel lbl_1 = new JLabel();
        lbl_1.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(70,20));
        lbl_1.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.TRAILING);
        lbl_1.setText(text);
        f.getContentPane().add(lbl_1);
        
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

I see text displayed as "too long te..."
I want to see text displayed like "...in control"
