I searched through many posts and figured out that <code>JLabel</code> supports HTML. So I can do <pre class="prettyprint"><code>JLabel search = new JLabel("<html>Search By:</html>"); </code></pre> to get multiple lines. Above code will result in <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Search By: </code></pre> However, What I want is something like <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Search By: </code></pre> Adding spaces before "By:" will work only when the window is not resizable(And very silly lol). Can anyone tell me how to modify this code to make it work as I wanted?

Slightly simpler HTML than seen in @MadProgrammer's answer: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>new JLabel("<html><body style='text-align: right'>Search By:"); </code></pre>
