How to put the label of a AbstractButton on the bottom of the Icon?

Question

This is my code to set the label on the bottom of the button Icon.

m_button.setIcon(large);
m_button.setLabel(m_button.getName());
m_button.setVerticalTextPosition(m_button.BOTTOM);

m_button.setMargin(BUTTON_INSETS);
m_button.setSize(BUTTON_SIZE);
m_button.setSize(20, 20);

But the result is the below one.

How can I make it on the bottom of the icon? As this:

As the second Image. The Label is exactly on the bottom of the Icon. — Sajeev, Apr 04 '16 at 15:24
Maybe this helps http://stackoverflow.com/questions/354866/swing-jbutton-icon-above-text It uses SwingConstants.BOTTOM and also establishes horizontal position. — RubioRic, Apr 04 '16 at 15:25
@Berger Thanks. I was googling for the javadoc to link :-) https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/AbstractButton.html#setLabel(java.lang.String) — RubioRic, Apr 04 '16 at 15:28
So, if I set the Text for the button same as the Label here, will it work? — Sajeev, Apr 04 '16 at 15:28
@Saj setLabel and setText will do the same. Try with the solution linked. Use SwingConstants and setHorizontalTextPosition. — RubioRic, Apr 04 '16 at 15:29
Thanks. I have tried the code: m_button.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM); But the same result — Sajeev, Apr 04 '16 at 15:31
And setting both Vertical and Horizontal? THAT is the solution linked. — RubioRic, Apr 04 '16 at 15:33
@RubioRic Thank you very much. I was not setting the Horizontal Text Position. You save my day. — Sajeev, Apr 04 '16 at 15:37
@Saj Glad to help. Remember to upvote the linked answer. It's not mine, but anyway. :-) — RubioRic, Apr 04 '16 at 15:38

Set both horizontal and vertical text positions:

JButton button = new JButton("Test", icon);
button.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
button.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
