You can use this method...

JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("<HTML> My Label text<br>Goes here</HTML>");

Cheers,
Rachel

You could use an non-editable JTextArea and make it look like a label. JTextArea supports word-wrap

That's a much easier solution to use. In our project we are reading label definitions from a properties file that contains different translations at using a text area is far easier than the HTML label because we can't be sure of the size of thing that we have to fit onto the label.

Cheers,
Rachel
