You can use this:
public static final JComponent createMultiLineLabel(String text) {
// Count the number of newline characters in the text
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(text, "\n");
int lines = st.countTokens();
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(text, lines, 0);
ta.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
ta.setOpaque(false);
ta.setEnabled(false);
ta.setFont(UIManager.getFont("Label.font"));
ta.setDisabledTextColor(UIManager.getColor("Label.foreground"));
ta.setMaximumSize(ta.getPreferredSize()); // in case parent's layout is a
BoxLayout
return ta;
}
Then all you need to do is:
getContentPane().add(createMultiLineLabel("Hello\nWorld"));

Erk.
A better solution (IMO) is to extend JTextArea, and give it the look and
feel of a JLabel. The HTML solution seems kinda hacky to me - different
OS's
give different font sizes, etc. I just don't like it that the line break
is
hardcoded, and prefer Java to decide for me. The HTML solution also
depends
on the window staying the same width, etc.

Use HTML
Example: <html> line one <br> line two </html>

Is there a way to create a JLabel
with text that breaks across multiple
lines?
Thanks,
