Make JLabel text breaks in gridbaglayout

Question

Make JLabel text breaks in gridbaglayout

I have the following code to dynamically add panels to a container with a GridBagLayout. It should grow and display a vertical scrollbar, not horizontal.

But when I add text too long in JLabel in the parent JPanel, it displays a horizontal scroll bar, I want JLabel to interrupt the text when the container is compressed, and also grows as the container grows. I tried to set the maximum width, but GridBagLayout did not use it.

I also tried using something like this, but it makes the shortcut not growing when I resize the parent.
