To center the texts horizontally and have them appear next to each other, you can use a combination of layout managers and alignment properties in JavaFX or Swing. Here's an example for both frameworks:

JavaFX:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class CenteredTexts extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        HBox root = new HBox();
        root.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
        
        Label label1 = new Label("Text 1");
        Label label2 = new Label("Text 2");
        
        root.getChildren().addAll(label1, label2);
        
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 200);
        
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

Swing:

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;

public class CenteredTexts {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
        
        JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Text 1");
        JLabel label2 = new JLabel("Text 2");

        panel.add(label1);
        panel.add(label2);

        frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
        
        frame.setSize(400, 200);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

In both examples, the HBox (JavaFX) or JPanel (Swing) is set to have a centered alignment using Pos.CENTER (JavaFX) or FlowLayout.CENTER (Swing), which centers the labels horizontally. The labels are then added to the container (HBox or JPanel) using their respective add methods.

flowlayout could work if it could exist horizontally

#

why are you using BorderLayout? BorderLayout.CENTER will use all the space that's available

#

flowlayout does work horizontally, by default. did you mean vertically?

of the question by elaborating, providing details, context, all relevant code
snippets, any errors you are getting, concrete examples and perhaps also some
screenshots. Share your attempt, explain the expected results and compare
them to the current results.

Also try to make the information easily accessible by sharing code
or assignment descriptions directly on Discord, not behind a link or
PDF-file; provide some guidance for long code snippets and ensure
