Java GUI | How to give JLabel only top border

Question

I created a GUI and now I created a JLabel, from which I only want to see the top border.

How does it get done?

    JLabel label = new JLabel( "TEXT" );
    label.setBounds( 90, 350, 440, 20 );
    label.setBorder( LineBorder.createBlackLineBorder());

lable.setBorder(new MatteBorder(1, 0, 0, 0, Color.BLACK));

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on [How to Use Borders](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/border.html) so you become familiar with all the standard Borders. – camickr Mar 30 '16 at 14:26
@camickr thanks for the link. I already know about most of the features, but something is new for me :) – Sergiy Medvynskyy Mar 30 '16 at 14:29
@SergiyMedvynskyy, my comment was for the OP to read the tutorial and become familiar with Swing features. I like to include links to the tutorial so the OP can learn about all the Borders (as well as other Swing features) the next time they have a problem. This way instead of answering a single question, hopefully I give the OP a resource to use for future problems as well. – camickr Mar 30 '16 at 14:35
