Align Tab text to left

I have a JTabbed Panel and I would like the tab desciption to be aligned to the left(Step1,Step2...), because it currently centers the text.

tabbedPane.addTab("Step 1/Campaign",null, new CampaignPanel(),"General Campaign Information");
tabbedPane.addTab("Step 2/MOP", null, new MOPPanel(),"Method of Payment Entry");

thanks,
Dean

Hi,
Checking the Sun API's I couldnt find any methods that align the text to the left. I know this is the default on tabbed panes on windows. AFAIK the labels are just text strings, although they may be icons as well, that are centred by default.
Sorry,
Mark
