Placeholder alignment

[pablotecheraa]

The JTextField component supports the client property "JTextField.placeholderText", which takes as default alignment "ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT". I propose that if you set a different alignment for the text using "setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER)" the "placeholder" text should be aligned in that direction as well.

Since the placeholder text uses "ComponentOrientation" it is not possible to align it to the center when using "setHorizontalAlignment".

When "setHorizontalAlignment.CENTER" is not defined use "LEFT_TO_RIGHT" or "RIGHT_TO_LEFT".

Thanks for reporting. 👍

Placeholder now respects horizontal alignment property:

And for right-to-left component orientation:
