can't you just use \n in the properties file? (http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/Props.html)
once you have a new line in there, you may want to create a subclass of feedbackpanel and override newMessageDisplayComponent: protected Component newMessageDisplayComponent(String id, FeedbackMessage message) { Label label = new Label(id, message.getMessage().toString()); label.setEscapeModelStrings(FeedbackPanel.this.getEscapeModelStrings()); return label; } so it returns a MultiLineLabel. also, btw, if you call setEscapeModelStrings(false) in your feedback panel subclass (i have a subclass of Label called HtmlLabel which does exactly this for each constructor of Label), you can get html in your feedback as well (although you need to be careful not to put any un-escaped user values into the feedback by way of variable substitutions or you might wind up with strange formatting or even security problems).
