     Haven't tried it myself, but have you looked at
setHorizontalTextPosition()?  Also, try setComponentOrientation().

     If those don't work out and you really need the effect,
you could (I guess) get the label's Font and FontMetrics,
measure the as-rendered width of the string, and set the
label's text to as much of the tail as will fit.  (If I
were doing this a lot, I'd subclass JLabel.)
