How do I move jLabel within a jPanel?

[RageAx]

I'm trying to do a simple pong game in netbeans java. I have selected jLabels for my platforms, let's call them, and i have no clue as to how to move them up and down with a keyboard. I am very recent to java and my skills are poor to say the best. Please help me.

I don't know java put you should write some pseudocode that normally helps.

if up key pressed   Move panel up along Y axisend ifif down key is pressed    move panel down along Y axisend if

you need to check for key input and then move the position as needed.

Swing elements aren't really meant to be used like that. You should create a class that extends JPanel and override the paintComponent method to draw your own rectangles.
