Scroll JScrollPane to bottom

Question

I need to scroll a JScrollPane to the bottom. The JScrollPane contains a JPanel, which contains a number of JLabel\'s.

To scroll to the top, I just do:

Answer 1

// Scroll to bottom of a JScrollPane containing a list of Strings.

JScrollPane      scrollPane;
DefaultListModel listModel;
JList            list;

listModel = new DefaultListModel();

list = new JList(listModel);
list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
list.setLayoutOrientation(JList.VERTICAL);
list.setVisibleRowCount(-1); // -1 = display max items in space available

scrollPane = new JScrollPane(list);
scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 50));

// Append text entries onto the text scroll pane.
listModel.addElement("text entry one");
listModel.addElement("text entry two");
listModel.addElement("text entry three");
listModel.addElement("text entry four");

// Get the index of the last entry appended onto the list, then
// select it, and scroll to ensure it is visible in the vewiport.
int lastNdx = listModel.getSize() - 1;
list.setSelectedIndex(lastNdx);
list.ensureIndexIsVisible(lastNdx);

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(scrollPane);
