Answer 1

Set GridBagLayout for JPanel, put JLabel without any GridBagConstraints to the JPanel, JLabel will be centered

example

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class CenteredJLabel {

    private JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
    private JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    private JLabel label = new JLabel("CenteredJLabel");

    public CenteredJLabel() {
        panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
        panel.add(label);
        panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(panel);
        frame.setSize(400, 300);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                CenteredJLabel centeredJLabel = new CenteredJLabel();
            }
        });
    }
}
