java-programmer, Multiline JLabel Hi, I want to use a JLabel but I want it to be shown in several lines.
Otherwise the JDialog is very very wide when the text is long.

How can I do that?

Use html:

label.setText("<HTML>Line1<BR>Line2</HTML>");

But I want it to be transparent for the user. For example:

new MyDialog(myText);

I want the dialog to be displayed with text in several lines without
the user typing all that HTML code.

You WANT? Well, then use a text component with editing disabled.
