How would one test if a JLabel, with set size, wouldn't be able to display all the text that it set to display?

- Make another label that you do not set the size of.
- Add the same text to the 2nd label.
- Call for the preferred size.
- If it is larger than the set size, your text will be truncated.
But the most sensible solution is not to set the sizes of labels in the first place.
