How to add multi-line label on a Java GUI?

Question

I have made a java swing GUI. Now I want to display a static message on that but the message is multi-line and the JLabel is single line.

How can I display that message?

Is there any property of JLabel which we can set to display the multiple line message?

Will I have to use several JLabels for multiple lines?

Is there any other way I can display that message?

You can do

JLabel l = new JLabel("<html><p>Hello World! blah blah blah</p></html>");

and it will automatically wrap it where appropriate.
