    Default Line break in tool tip..how??

    I am trying to make a line break in my tooltip. It is the one that says
    "Toggle line\n wrap" below. Will try to highlight it if I can figure out how.
    Anyway, any ideas how to manage this? Obviously the \n is not doing it.
    Java Code: 
    import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JToolBar;

public class TestLines
{
  private static final int PREFERRED_WIDTH=200;
  private static final int PREFERRED_HEIGHT=100;
  
    public TestLines()
    {
       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
       JToolBar toolbar= new JToolBar();
       JButton saveButton = new JButton(" save ");
       saveButton.setToolTipText("Save");
       toolbar.add(saveButton);
       JButton boldButton = new JButton("Bold");
       boldButton.setToolTipText("Bold");
       toolbar.add(boldButton);
       JButton linewrapbutton = new JButton("Line Wrap");
       linewrapbutton.setToolTipText("[COLOR="Blue"]Toggle line\n wrap[/COLOR]");
       toolbar.add(linewrapbutton);
       frame.getContentPane().add("North", toolbar);
       frame.pack();
       frame.setSize(PREFERRED_WIDTH, PREFERRED_HEIGHT);
       frame.setVisible(true);
       
    }

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new TestLines();

    }

}

    Default

    Try using html
    Java Code: 
       linewrapbutton.setToolTipText("<html>Toggle line<br> wrap</br></html>");
