    You could just try setting the string text to what you want, and use the \n command to break the lines up.

    ie.

    Java Code: 
    String str = "This is \nmy example \nof a multi-line \nJLabel";
JLabel strLabel = new JLabel (str);

    Java Code: 
    import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class MultilineLabel {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "This is \nmy example \nof a multi-line \nJLabel";
        JLabel strLabel = new JLabel (str);
        display(strLabel, "Hmmm...");
    }
 
    public static void display(JComponent comp, String title) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame(title);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(comp);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

    I know this is an old thread, but, since the original poster did not followup, I copied and pasted the code given by levent into NetBeans and ran it. The newlines did NOT appear in the label. Perhaps this worked circa June, 2007, but it doesn't work with Java SE 6.10.

    Edit:

    goto velocityreviews forums multiline-jlabel (wasn't allowed to include link)

    shows how to do this using HTML. one is to use only html formatting including <br> in place of \n, another is to use standard C-format codes and use the <pre></pre> tags.

    Cool Multiline Text in a JLabel

    The direct procedure of writing a multi-line text in a jlabel is:

    JLabel label = new JLabel("<html>First Line<br>Second Line</html>");
