I want to do this:
JLabel myLabel = new JLabel(); myLabel.setText("This is\na multi-line string"); Currently this results in a label that displays
This isa multi-line string I want it to do this instead:
This is a multi-line string Any suggestions?
Thank you
EDIT: Implemented solution
In body of method:
myLabel.setText(convertToMultiline("This is\na multi-line string")); Helper method:
public static String convertToMultiline(String orig) { return "<html>" + orig.replaceAll("\n", "<br>"); }

You can use HTML in JLabels. To use it, your text has to start with <html>.
Set your text to "<html>This is<br>a multi-line string" and it should work.
See Swing Tutorial: JLabel and Multiline label (HTML) for more information.

public class JMultilineLabel extends JTextArea{ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public JMultilineLabel(String text){ super(text); setEditable(false); setCursor(null); setOpaque(false); setFocusable(false); setFont(UIManager.getFont("Label.font")); setWrapStyleWord(true); setLineWrap(true); //According to Mariana this might improve it setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5)); setAlignmentY(JLabel.CENTER_ALIGNMENT); } } It totally looks the same for me, but its ugly
