You can try using html tags to display the information eg

<html>my line<br>anotherline</html>

hey cyrus, i think rachel is a woman...maybe not but anyways lol..
She was correct, a JLable can render html,soooooooo...just put that inside ur caption of the JLabel ie.
JLabel j= new JLabel("<html>First line of text <br> Second line of text</html>");

i think thats right atleast.
