Why JScrollPane in JOptionPane not showing all its content?

Solution 1:

As shown in this related example, you can override the viewport's preferred size.

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingConstants;

public class DynamicGroupLayout {

    private static final int NUM = 30;
    private JTextField[] fields = new JTextField[NUM];
    private JLabel[] labels = new JLabel[NUM];

    private JPanel create() {

        GroupLayout.SequentialGroup sequential = layout.createSequentialGroup();
        layout.setVerticalGroup(sequential);
        for (int i = 0; i < NUM; i++) {
            labels[i] = new JLabel(String.valueOf(i + 1), JLabel.RIGHT);
            fields[i] = new JTextField(String.valueOf("String " + (i + 1)));

                };
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
