JScrollPane- Only Vertical Scroll?

I have the following line of code:

JSplitPane VPane = new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT,(new class1()),new JScrollPane(new class2()));

I'd like class2 to ONLY have vertical scrolling please? Since my layout falls to bits otherwise. I am using GridBagLayout and it's too late to change the layout now. Is there a method to fix this?

    It doesn't seem to work- I'm just getting errors =[

    To illustrate this:

    JScrollPane js=...; //Create a variable reference to the an instance of scrollpane

JSPlitPane jsp;

js.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);//set the horizontal scrollbar to never appear

jsp=new JSplitPane(..,js);//create the splitpane with the jscrollpane etc

    UPDATE

    I would recommend creating references to your variables/components especially because you might want to modify them dynamically later.
