Align icon and JCheckbox in JPopupmenu

I have a Problem with some icons and check-boxes in a JPopupMenu. The Check-boxes and Icons are not aligned

The Items are created like: 

JMenuItem deleteAttributeMenuItem = new JMenuItem(locale.getString("TREE_AttrDelete"), iconDelete);

JMenuItem primaryKeyAttributeMenuItem = new JCheckBoxMenuItem(locale.getString("TREE_AttrChkBoxPK"));

Please take a look at the picture:

Any tips?

Solution

  • Have a look at this, in order to achieve what you wanted, I did this, 

    JCheckBoxMenuItem cbmi = new JCheckBoxMenuItem("Check Me", null, true);
cbmi.setMargin(new java.awt.Insets(5, 25, 5, 5));
cbmi.setIconTextGap(15);
cbmi.setHorizontalTextPosition(javax.swing.SwingConstants.LEFT);
helpMenu.add(cbmi);

    And here is the OUTPUT of the said thingy :
