There is a article on this site I think at
http://codeguru.developer.com/java/swing

This is a enhanced JLabel component which shows label on multiple lines. See if its useful for u.

U have to use Swing1.1.1 for this where u can use html statements for your label.
Use
to achieve your multi line label.

Hi,

Here it is. U have to use Swing1.1.1 for this case. Because only this supports HTML.

String htmlText = "<html>MultiLine JLabel
one
two";
JLabel myLabel = new JLabel(htmlText);

I have used "break" between "JLabel" and "one" as well as between "one" and "two". The html equivalent for "break"
is not coming in the preview. So I have given the explanation as above.

It supports all valid html tags too. The JVM constructs a lightweight HTML document, when the the String for the JLabel
begins with "<html>"

Hope will help u.

regards,
arun...
