how can achieve goal?

the easiest way achieve put imagelabel jpanel flowlayout. add panel bigger borderlayout.

so change:

this.add(imagelabel, borderlayout.center); 

to like:

jpanel imageconstrain = new jpanel(new flowlayout(swingconstants.left));   imageconstrain.add(imagelabel); this.add(imageconstrain, borderlayout.center);
