setHeight won't work since it's set by the layout. You can use setPreferredHeight. You can create a label with a space within it to create a small space. Alternatively if you just want to use the padding of a label to a space you need to do:
label.setShowEvenIfBlank(true); This disables a special case in label that hides it completely if the label is blank. That's useful for some use cases such as keeping command buttons that don't have an implementation in a static place.
