Hi,
I'm programming with java swing package.
What is the best way to know if a text fits into a label, button, etc... or 
not?
My friend says that on eclipse's visual editor, it appears three periods 
(...) to know that the text doesn't fit into the component, but I think java 
access bridge gives the complete text, so I don't see the three periods.
My friend told me: "I don't see any text on the radio buttons". And I said: 
"But I see it, you're playing with me!". But the text didn't appear because 
the buttons are very short..
Thus, the interface is useable to me but not to others, lol. But I'd like to 
make interfaces that, although the controls are not well positioned, they 
are visible to sighted people. Is it possible?

Any help is greatly apreciated

Best regards

Sérgio Neves
P.s: I've tried to move the components in the same way as sighted people do, 
but I think it's not accessible. But I don't know how to explain it in a bug 
for this.. I'm using visual editor 1.2 because the latest is in development.
