I would imagine this can be done if you muck around with the UI classes but
I'm not sure.

You could however - as a work around - create a composite component i.e. a
JPanel with a JLabel and a JCheckBox/JRadioButton which would allow you to
separately control the label from the widget part.

You could subclass JCheckBox/JRadioBox so that your component can be used
just like a JCheckBox/JRadioBox and re-write their public methods to
delegate to your composite components.
