Associating a Label with a Component

When a label is associated with a component, you should call setLabelFor() to make the association explicit and then set a mnemonic on the label. The associated component will get the focus when the mnemonic is activated.

    
 JLabel label = new JLabel("Name:");
 label.setDisplayedMnemonic('N');
 label.setLabelFor(component);
