I'm wondering if there's a swing item that's like a JLabel except that it spans many lines, like a JParagraph. If I write

JLabel L = new JLabel("line 1\nline2");

What gets displayed in the interface is "line 1line 2" (i.e. the '\n' gets trashed). I'd like to know if there's anything that will take the '\n' into account and span several lines.

In jdk 1.4 version few html tags are supported in JLabel.

So use

JLabel L = new JLabel("<html>line 1 <br/> line2 </html>");

and it will have two lines in JLabel.

Else u can write ur own component say JParagraph extending ScrollableComponent or any simly Component
