I have a JList on a panel.

How can I center align the text in the JList? I can't seem to find the settings anywhere for the model?

I have looked for align settings on the GUI but cant seem to find any there.

This has nothing to do with the model since it involves the view, the ListCellRenderer to be specific. One solution; get the renderer and set its horizontalAlignment to SwingConstants.CENTER. Assuming that you're not using a custom cell renderer you could for example do:

DefaultListCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultListCellRenderer) myJList.getCellRenderer();
renderer.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
