How to center align the title in a JFrame?

I have a JFrame with a Title. I want center align the title, so that it appears in the middle of the JFrame's title.

Thanks.

Consider leaving the title left-justified...but...this will get you near the center. For resizable frames, you need to rewrite the title on resize.

JFrame t = new JFrame();
t.setSize(600,300);
t.setFont(new Font("System", Font.PLAIN, 14));
Font f = t.getFont();
FontMetrics fm = t.getFontMetrics(f);
int x = fm.stringWidth("Hello Center");
int y = fm.stringWidth(" ");
int z = t.getWidth()/2 - (x/2);
int w = z/y;
String pad ="";
//for (int i=0; i!=w; i++) pad +=" "; 
pad = String.format("%"+w+"s", pad);
t.setTitle(pad+"Hello Center");

Adapting the answer's source of @Java42, I did a "workaround" to adjust title when resizing JFrame:

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.FontMetrics;
import java.awt.event.ComponentAdapter;
import java.awt.event.ComponentEvent;

import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class JFrameTitleCenter {

    public void createAndShowGUI() {

        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 200));
        frame.setTitle("Hello Center");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        frame.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
                titleAlign(frame);
            }

        });

        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);

    }

    private void titleAlign(JFrame frame) {

        Font font = frame.getFont();

        String currentTitle = frame.getTitle().trim();
        FontMetrics fm = frame.getFontMetrics(font);
        int frameWidth = frame.getWidth();
        int titleWidth = fm.stringWidth(currentTitle);
        int spaceWidth = fm.stringWidth(" ");
        int centerPos = (frameWidth / 2) - (titleWidth / 2);
        int spaceCount = centerPos / spaceWidth;
        String pad = "";
        pad = String.format("%" + (spaceCount - 14) + "s", pad);
        frame.setTitle(pad + currentTitle);

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
            new JFrameTitleCenter().createAndShowGUI();
        });
    }
}

Working:

I have a JFrame with a Title. I want center align the title, so that 
it appears in the middle of the JFrame's title.

simple not possible to centering narrarive in the JFrames TitleBar, this container came from Native OS

dirty hack are possible by implements getSystemLookAndFeel in Windows OS
create undecorated JFrame by adding JPanel (simulated Toolbar) with JButtons (JButtons with icons simulating standards buttons )

I don't know that you can without using a complicated scheme. If it's to your liking, you could apply a titled border with centered text to the frame's content pane.
