private JLabel label1, label2;

    public WindowsBox() {
        super("Testing Label");
        Container container = getContentPane();
        container.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

        
        label1 = new JLabel("Label with text");
        label1.setToolTipText("This is label1");
        label1.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
        container.add(label1);

        Icon icon = new ImageIcon("http://www.nfcrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/hi-256-4-0d7facef5753bf69b74de8ccb0144f2cf94062fa.png");
        label2 = new JLabel("Label with Text and Icon", icon, SwingConstants.LEFT);
        label2.setToolTipText("This is Label2");
        container.add(label2);

        setSize(275, 180);
        
        setVisible(true);

    }

This is the output i get:

----------------------------------------
Testing Labels
----------------------------------------
Label with text Label with Text and Icon





----------------------------------------

I think he doesn't want all the labels to show on one line

FlowLayout lines up 5 elements by default next to each other, you can call a different constructor to specify the max horizontal alignment like new FlowLayout(2)

[pbl]

FlowLayout by default stores all the possible components in one line

http://docs.oracle.c...FlowLayout.html

You will have to use another layout
May be Box b = Box.createVerticalBox()
and add your labels to that Box b

or you can just set the layout to null and manually place the components as you wish.

Not a very good practice, your layout will screw up if the user resie the Frame

pbl's Box suggestion is the one you will want to use.
