I wanted to know if it is possible for 1 Label or JLabel to print more than 1 line of text.
For example:
Dave Johnson
would become;
Dave
Johnson
I know that I could just have 2 Labels but that wouldn't work for what I am trying to do.
Any ideas?

A quick and dirty solution is to use HTML for the label text:
JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("<html><b>Two<br>lines</html>");

No good Joe, the program is not an applet. Good idea though!

You can use HTML to format the text on lots of Swing components, applet or no. Check the
Java Tutorial.
