Hello!
I have read that I can use HTML in components like JLabel in order to change 
the formatting of the text.

So I write something like this:

JLabel questionText = new JLabel();
questionText.setText("<html> <p style=\"text-align: justify\">  " + "My 
multiline text here...");

I expect that this will make my text "justified". Instead it looks like it 
is "centered". I have also tried with the other possible values for 
text-align (left, right, center) and all three of them work as expected. 
Java seems to ignore only "justify".
Any idea why this is happening?

I am using JBuilderX Enterprise with java version 1.4.2_01-b06.


Thanks a lot!
Katerina
